a beautiful movie

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2002)

I have never really been a Russell Crowe fan, until now. In usual Ron Howard form, the movie is beautifully done - the pace is so steady you don't realize that you have been watching for over 2 hours - the dialogue is gorgeous and the performances are flawless.
I never thought I would say this, but I am cheering heartily for Crowe to win his second Oscar in a row on this movie.
