"I loved it and agree with all the comments above! I watched it because I haven’t seen a movie that Denzel W has been in that I didn’t like and he never disappoints! Great acting ! Great story! "

"This movie was incredible. I had no idea that it was based on a true story (I must have missed that in the beginning) Denzel Washington and Forest Wittaker played their parts to perfection. I found myself glued to the screen. A movie of unyielding Triumph in a society riddled with racism and poverty. I was standing and cheering at the end! "

"A fantastic real-life story of not only collegiate debate, but segregation in the South, and how it impacted people."

"Similar how? I mean underdog movies? Certainly, 42 is great. Marshall is awesome. (I'm a Chadwick fan, can you tell?) More recently, I loved Harriet, One Night in Miami. Bessie is a good movie."
