Review of Freedom Writers (2007) by Jayh. — 06 Feb 2008

I was anticipating this to be just another one of those inspired teacher/tough student movies. And it is. But, this one somehow reaches deeper and is very much a touching and moving film. I didn't find it completely convincing, but the characters are so well developed, so rich in emotion, it becomes a very compelling piece of film making.

Good performances from everyone.
