GamerTab That was an excellent one.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
tnsmile For the life of me, I cannot figure out why I have not heard more about this movie. It is a fantastic feel good movie if I've ever seen one. Maybe it is too "normal" for people these days. The story is touching, the characters are likeable and well acted. It is not drama of the year, but it has a Field of Dreams style of goodness. I am glad that I ignored some of the reviews. Worth the watch if you want something similar in feeling to the movies in the 80s. And it is a true story. Academy award winner, no - but a nice movie.
randy filkirk Where to start. OK, acting, out of the box, i mean, outside of it. Excellent in all ways, and very very underrated. I cannot say how this film is good really, but i can say there are no dull moments, no extreme violence scenes, except that one scene, and it is not violent really, just potentially so, not any swearing, none of the usual rubbish, this is a fairly deep film, looking at ourselves. The rating again, too low, how?, i am confused how someone can rate this so low, maybe the subject matter was too close to home, or too far from their reality, because this film does have the element of being real, and rightly so, this being more or less true events....
The_Boxing_Cat I couldn't get beyond the fact that R. Zellwegger had so much plastic surgery! She was unrecognizable and miscast.
U Dude (Marvelouis) "We are all homeless, working our way home." Truly powerful insight delivered remarkably well from an emotional and powerful film. I had no idea going in that this was a true life story. I enjoyed the trailer and took a flier on the cast. I'm extremely pleased that I did. All these Oscar nominees and winners brought their A-game and have delivered one of the better movies of the entire year. I wouldn't even classify this as a faith based film. In fact, Greg Kinnear's character never seems to embrace any particular religious sentiment. It's a true story of a woman's kindness and generous soul that is still reverberating through many people's lives. Her simple philosophy of feeding the homeless and SEEING them bares fruit in many ways. Her life and by extension those who are carrying her torch are one's to admire and even strive to emulate. Her (Renee Zellweger) story is told through the eyes of her art dealer's husband (Greg Kinnear) and heavily involves a homeless person (Djimon Hounsou) who we get to know as the film unfolds. Great racial strife and emotional scenes of his life are seen through flashbacks. Overall, all three character arcs are moving and fleshed out amazingly well. It is a slow burn as the first act sets up very slowly. The pacing improves and the journey experienced is worth the exposition. While not a perfect movie (pacing issues, Hounsou's Denver character shifts fast from crazy violent homeless man to wise sage, severe marital problems glossed over quickly) it is a movie that will make you think and even move you to tears.
