A Beautiful Film

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2012)

This, is truly a great film. Do not expect any Hancock-like stunts from Will Smith here - this is all about the harshness of life and the love between a father and his son. A moving story of personal triumph and pain this is one of the most emotional films and acting performances I have seen in a long while. Based on a true story this is like an evocation of the infallibility of mankind and the truth that anything is possible, for anyone. It also portrays the real love that can bind a father and his son and the despair invoked when a father is unable to provide for him. Some beautiful directing brings the story across as a triumph stemming from pure effort and passion. Highly recommended. Do NOT miss this film.
