My Take
David Mickey Evans occupies a corner of cinema I have deep affection for: the filmmaker who takes childhood seriously. With The Sandlot he caught the sunlit clumsiness of a boyhood summer not as nostalgia but from inside the experience, which is a rare gift. His baseball obsession and his recurring focus on kids and the trials of growing up suggest a genuine, unforced tenderness. He's never been a blockbuster name, and I don't think he wants to be. What he makes instead is the kind of film that lodges quietly in someone's memory for life. That craftsmanship is its own reward.
