Based on a true story, Simon Wincer‘s The Cup (Myriad, 5.11) is an allegedly uplifting Australian race-horsing drama. “From the director of Free Willy” is a bit troubling; ditto the 31% Rotten Tomatoes rating from its Australian debut last October. But my biggest concern, of course, is that heavenly glow coming from the clouds, which says that somebody’s dead.
