Truly Amazing Film

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2005)

I am young but am a movie buff since the womb. I've seen all the greats from all ages of movies. I came into the movie with high expectations from director Ron Howard and from the cast, and boy did they live up to them.
This movie was well crafted, fantastically shot, and fabulous performances from Crowe, Zellweger and Giamatti. Giamatti's performance is a clear best supporting role for Oscar time.
Both emotional and dramatical, I was on the edge of my seat for most of the movie. One feels the pain and struggles of Americans during the depression. The Braddock story is one of true courage and the overcoming of failure during a desperate time in this country.
This movie makes my top 10 list of Dramatic movies from the last decade. A definite must see.
