Sugar

After reading two awesome reviews about Sugar, Eric and I were convinced that we needed to watch it this weekend. We were especially excited when we learned that the writer-directors, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck were going to be at the 7pm show for a Q&A. I love the Angelika!

The film is about a young Dominican pitcher working to get off the island and play baseball in the U.S. It's a beautiful portrayal of the Dominican Republic, a close-knit Dominican family and the pressure of making it in baseball.



I loved the soundtrack and tried to research it yesterday when I got home. I'm so disappointed that I didn't ask about the release yesterday at the showing. I can't find any information about the soundtrack online. If anyone knows when it will be released, please comment.
