Review of The Great Debaters (2007) by Crystal R — 08 Sep 2009
An absolute favorite - hands down. Great performances by everyone: Denzel Washington and Forest Whitaker typically phenomenal, and I loved the performances of the three who were in the debate team.
The movie may started off slow, and paced at the same rhythm for quite a while, but midway through, it is fully engaging, emotional and you get very invested in the story and characters.
Not as Hollywood-like as everyone would wish it to be, and Denzel Washington's direction is refreshing. A film I enjoyed greatly and hope everyone else will too.
