HIM is a film with messaging about Fanship vs Worship, the sacrifice of Mind, Body, and Soul for sports, and cognitive disassociation that comes with being an pro-athlete and more specifically one committed to the brutalities of American Football.

Final Score:6

While the visuals from Kira Kelly are graphically beautiful, asserting the full toxicity of worship culture and self sacrifice for greatness, the story and the dialogue don't always meshwell and the story doesn't dive deep enough into it's characters yet still somehow pulls great performances out of them.
