I’m not a big fan of movies that don’t make me laugh.
However every once in a while, one comes along that I feel is a “must see”.
I’d make it required watching for every student in the world.
Overcoming obstacles. Exponentiated.
Hard to say enough good things about this movie.
On a personal note, I didn’t recognize Annette Benning until I went to write this post.
I’d put this in my “Rudy” file of “motivational” musts.
Unlike the trash that Hollywood usually produces, there was a tasteful nod to sexual abuse and lesbianism. But didn’t detract from the message. If anything, it focuses on the hidden obstacles that one would never know about.
