A Great Act of Kindness

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2009)

I did not see this as a movie about white guilt, or any of the other negative stereotypical connotations one has come to expect when seeing a story like this. If anything, the film could be seen as a story of how a kind family opened their hearts, to a poor soul in need. This one act enriched the lives of them all.
Sandra Bullock was at her absolute best as she lost herself in this role. Kathy Bates delivered as always she is such a pro. The actor Quinton Aaron won my heart after his first five minutes as I teared up looking at him and feeling his utter pain and despair.
I'm not familiar with Tim McGraw as a singer but his performance in this film makes me feel he has a future in this profession.
They all delivered and I was so moved by the over-all experience and grateful for a woman called Leigh Anne Touhy.
This movie deserved 10 stars!
