"The magic of the documentary “Linsanity” isn’t so much that it captures the stranger-than-fiction rise of Jeremy Lin from basketball nobody to NBA stardom."
It’s that it makes you feel as if you could be watching someone you know — a brother, cousin, best friend — and that the moments being captured are as authentic as the New York Knicks jersey hanging from Lin’s shoulders.
The unfettered access that rookie director Evan Jackson Leong was granted starting with Lin’s career at Harvard provides an intimate portrait of a sometimes goofy, always lovable player just trying to prove he belongs on basketball’s biggest stage."
