Excellent TV Movie

Shooting Stars is an excellent High School sports movie. The character development, directing, editing, and acting are all on point.

Based on a true story it captures the progression of friends perfectly to their journey from kids to young adults. It's an uplifting film about what it means to grow up together and support one another through life's challenges.

It's captivating from the first scene to last. There aren't many such movies I've seen where I felt part of the groups struggle and perseverance. It's uplifting and courageous.

I'm glad I caught it as I was scrolling through to find something to watch.

Highly recommend it!
