one of the most intense, inspiring, and beautiful films I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2004)

Sometimes I watch a movie and I'm reminded of how the word "inspiration" is
derived- namely, in-spiriting, or evocative of the human spirit. This is definitely such a film, with Jamie Foxx delivering a mind-blowingly real and harrowing
and moving performance. Kudos all around to everyone involved with this film, from the cinematography to the smooth and concise directorial feel. Hackford has definitely moved my heart, and I plan on seeing it again. I remember
feeling that way about "What's Love Got to Do With It?"
