Illinois-based Paralympian Anjali Forber-Pratt was adopted from India as an infant and became paralyzed shorty after arriving in the US. Despite daunting obstacles - told by teachers she couldn't go to college, having to sue her school district - Anjali is now a PhD graduate and world record holder in 200m wheelchair racing. And she says if she could do it all over, she'd pick being disabled. Heart-warming and deeply inspiring, The Red Pill tracks the history of disability sports through the personal journeys of Anjali, Anjali's mentor Jean Driscoll (8-time winner of the Boston marathon), Jean's own mentor Tim Nugent who fought for disabled WW2 veterans' rights, and Anjali's teenage proteges, each valiantly paving the way for the generations after them.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
