A GREAT love story

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2005)

I'm tempted to say that Million Dollar Baby is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen, but I'll want to wait and get a little perspective before I do. But one thing I can say is that it moved me like no other movie has done for a long time. And the three principles are awesome I'm their performances.
This is a love story; the love of two men for a sport; the love of a youngster for what that sport may make possible; the love of a father-figure for his young charge. Clint Eastwood lovingly handles the story with grace and rare perspective. He coaxes award-winning performances from his cast and handles the twists and turns of his complicated story with a deftness rare in today's Directors. I was blown away.
