A film set against the background of teen anxiety, mental disorder and an institution doesn’t on the face of it appeal, yet this teen version of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest' – based on the novel by Ned Vizini – is surprisingly and consistently watchable, thanks to a wide range of quality performances from the cast.

Few sports have been captured well on screen, with the honourable exception of boxing and baseball and this gently-paced, almost documentary in nature, elevates the latter to a fine, sympathetic artform.
