I loved this movie. I would call this movie “A fairy tale in realist drag” The movie is the kind of entertainment that goes down smoothly until it gets stuck in your craw. Inspired by a true story, as they like to say in Hollywood. I would compare this movie to “Ali.” That film proves an interesting comparison with “Ali”, not in filmmaking terms, but in its vision of what it means to be a black man having hard time and struggling in America. In one, a black man fights his way to the top with his fists; in the other, he gets there with a smile. Great review, heads down!
