In 2001, Lenny Cooke was the most hyped high
school basketball player in the country, ranked
above future greats LeBron James, Amar'e Stou-
demire, and Carmelo Anthony. A decade later,
Lenny has never played a minute in the NBA.
In this quintessentially American documentary,
filmmaking brothers Joshua and Ben Safdie
track the unfulfilled destiny of a man for whom
superstardom was only just out of reach. "You've
never seen a sports movie like this before."

Nelly (Felicity Jones), a happily
married mother and school-
teacher, is haunted by her past.
Her memories take us back in
time to follow the story of her
relationship with Charles
Dickens (Ralph Fiennes)
with whom she discovered an
exciting but fragile fellowship.
Dickens--famous, controlling
and emotionally isolated within
his success--falls for Nelly, who
comes from a family of actors.
The theatre is a vital arena for
Dickens--a brilliant amateur
actor--more emotionally
coherent on stage, than in life.
As Nelly becomes the focus of
Dickens' passion, secrecy is
the price for both of them.
