One of the most moving films of the decade!

Rating: 9/10 (31 January 2010)

Being South African, I clearly remember the Rugby World Cup of 1995 and what it meant to our country. Clint Eastwood has managed to capture those events, emotions, the atmosphere and the coming of a nation in this film flawlessly. Everything from casting to historical accuracy was perfect. I am truly proud that I experienced the events that led to the production of this film.
Superb performances by both Freeman and Damon, with Matt Damon pulling off the South African accent very very well and Freeman playing a fantastic Mandela.
Great movie, great story, great acting, great cast, great direction. Highly highly recommended.
