The Phenom

Major League rookie pitcher Hopper Gibson has lost his focus. After choking on the mound, he’s sent down to the minors and prescribed sessions with an unorthodox sports therapist, who pushes him to uncover the origins of his anxiety. Beneath it all is his fraught relationship with his overbearing ex-con father, whose tough love is the source of both his success and his paralysis.

The Phenom Reviews

“A cold, hard look at how the scars of our youth follow us into adulthood and what attempting to make peace with one's demons actually feels like.” – Cinema-stache

“A welcome surprise for sports cinema, "The Phenom” handles itself like Robert Redford's “Ordinary People” when exploring the psychology of a Lebron James or Johnny Manziel-like sports sensation." – RogerEbert.com

“An unusual and affecting baseball drama where nearly all the action is internal.” – L.A Times
