I was moved and compelled to watch Combining real and fictional events, Game 6 centers around the historic 1986 World Series and a day in the life of a playwright who skips opening night to watch the momentous game.
Keaton and Downey were brilliant.
Always great watching these two fantastic artists.
I give it my two thumbs up.
