A haunting masterpiece... Disturbingly beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2011)

This movie defines beautiful. Hilary Swank delivers an amazing performance, as do the rest of the cast. As a female boxer myself I thought this movie was just so... Indescribable. You have to see it to believe it and every time you watch it again you notice something you just missed before. The themes and characterization and EVERYTHING is truly beautiful. The movie is a drama about two people who try to use each other to redeem their lives, however, the themes are far more complex than just that. An absolute must-see, this is an unforgettable story about the power of love and will and how even in the most unlikely of places-a boxing ring-it can affect peoples lives.
