An other-worldly aura comes from Andrij Parekh’s lush photography while Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck have a sure grasp of the atmosphere in places as different as a Dominican village, a Minor League baseball club, a Bible-belt backwater and a Big Apple eatery. Yet emphasis and pacing are problematic, the match action lacks grit, and failure to accentuate what Soto risks losing diminishes the enormity of his reckless decisions.
