Streamline

Streamline’s narrative doesn’t go in the expected direction, with structural and emotional surprises making good on its promise to deliver a different kind of sports story, even if its final stretch is a tad neat.

A stellar cast makes us invest in this tragedy-in-the-making, because it’s the rough patches and detours that let Streamline find its way to clear water.

Streamline never establishes its footing, and I believe viewers will fail to see the allure of what Johnston attempts to create.
