Starting off the new year right.

Absolutely AMAZING movie. Just an incredible story, and the fact that it is inspired by a true story makes it even better. I can't believe the acting ability they got from all these young stars. I mean yeah you have Hilary Swank who has already established herself with Million Dollar Baby, but this new girl April Hernandez was phenomenal. I think she made the movie. All the struggles she was faced with throughout the entire movie and the way the handled everything was inspiring. I mean I could literally feel her pain as she dealt with the struggle of whether or not to trust this new teacher of hers(Swank) or to go with her family and only look out for her own kind. The racial issues addressed in this film are very controversial, but also so important to get into the mainstream so that our society can finally realize what is going on in our country. All in all, i think this movie deserves a 20 out of 10.
