Leave expectations out the door and you'll come out really touched by this simple story. I didn't think I would be that touched by the movie but there I was in the theatre almost crying my eyes out. The humanity of the characters and their need for connection pushed this movie above just being a "boxing drama". I can't say much about the story without giving something away, but I will say that Hilary Swank, Clint Eastwood, and Morgan Freeman did an incredible job in this movie. Beautiful performances from each that doesn't feel forced. This movie is definitely a "must see". I think this is probably one of the best films about love I've ever seen. A+
