"RADIO" is a must see movie.

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2003)

"RADIO", based upon actual people and actual circumstances, clearly reminds us of how really huge are those seemingly insignificant decisions we make (or don't) each day about how we treat our "lessers". This movie not only answers the question "am I my brother's keeper" but, if viewed with an open heart as well as an open mind, it tells us "why".
Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harris deserve nominations for their disarmingly realistic portrayals of Radio and Coach Jones (respectively). Those nominations probably are unlikely, however, because the movie delicately avoids the graphic violence or sex scenes that today's movie going public so mindlessly consumes. Michael Tollin's directing is also to be highly praised. He clearly opts to guide the actors/characters and scenes to be true, honest, and "as real as life" rather than "as real as Hollywood".
Take your spouse by the hand, drag along the kids, invite your mother-in-law, and go see this beautiful, insightful movie.
