The entirety of the film unfolds within the same physical space of a basketball court where the dribbling and scored baskets come to stand for the metaphorical dueling between Coach Pickle and his son and trainee Mitch. Amidst the many rigorous moves, the resentful, bitter equation is laid bare for the viewer to witness in all its nuances and complications.
The tussle between what one wishes to do and what one is forced to do is portrayed with sincerity. Both performances do justice to the screenplay and demands of the script. While sometimes the dramatic element threatens to border into the extreme, the film does eventually reign it back in, to eventually achieve a single, cohesive whole.
At the end of it all, ‘Tiny, Texas’ presents an uplifting story of perseverance, crucial battles, with the most formidable adversary - those we love, and sometimes even the self, and finally finding a way to never let go of a dream.
