'Homeroom' director Peter Nicks, with Ryan Coogler as producer, looks at Stephen Curry's journey from scrawny kid to small-college standout to NBA powerhouse.
'Magazine Dreams' Review: Jonathan Majors Astonishes as a Bodybuilder Whose Championship Aspirations Become a Tragic Obsessionturns out not to be that documentary at all. Curry’s fellow Warriors stars are mostly absent, though Draymond Green pops up via FaceTime when their respective alma maters face off in the NCAA Tournament. Miller is the only NBA legend to be found, and he only appears in those two segments.
Though the 34-year-old star has, as the doc makes clear, been overlooked and underestimated his whole life, the film looks at his desire to prove doubters wrong in two stages of his life. The present tense follows Curry’s eventful 2021-22 season, which saw him break the NBA record for career three-pointers, but also saw the Warriors stumble through a rough swing that brought skeptics out of the woodwork for the usual glib dismissals about how Curry and the team were past their peak.
As for the past, the documentary presents a reasonably comprehensive and much more conventionally told look at his youth, his time as a barely recruited high school player and then, particularly, his time at Davidson. The Davidson years are really the meat of the documentary, featuring appearances by teammates and coaches, led by Bob McKillop, whose belief in Curry was clearly formative.
What bridges the two segments isn’t the bulk of Curry’s NBA career — those two MVPs and three previous titles might as well not have existed — but rather the fact that in 2022, Steph Curry finally graduated from Davidson, much to his mother Sonya’s pleasure. One could argue that Nicks’ choice of focus puts a degree on the same plane of achievement as an Elite Eight run in college basketball or an NBA title, another thing that people doubted he could do. We see Curry having multiple Zoom conversations with a faculty advisor and, in one very sweet scene, struggling to properly craft a proposal for his thesis at the same table where his daughters are doing their homework, while his son jumps around popping bubble-wrap.
