I saw a showing of The Short Game recently at a film festival and enjoyed the story. It is a heartwarming story of a teen dealing with the pressures of sports and scholarships, as well as some difficult aspects of life and relationships at a young age. I specifically want to applaud the director's choice of inclusiveness. Choosing to cast a neurodiverse actor (his first film no less!) as the supporting actor, the lead's autistic brother, brought a beautiful authenticity to the role. There was a lot that teens can relate to as well as parents and young kids. Overall, it had something to engage the entire family. And if anyone in the family is a golfer, they will appreciate the beautifully shot scenes on the course.
