Mar 13, 2019Surprisingly unsentimental portrayal of one of the survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing. While quite a few similar films automatically turn everyone dealing with a life changing handicap into a hero, this one doesn't shy away from showing the difficulties, including going to the bathroom or still having a sexuality. There is no pathos, heroism or cheesiness maybe up until the very last scenes. What helps is an outstanding cast, showing once again that Gyllenhaal and Maslany are among the most talented actors their age.Jens S Super Reviewer

Dec 21, 2017A real life story of overcoming tragedy played with sensitivity and panache. The self-doubt permeating the tale is it's strongest go-to, and what draws the audience into the story. The supporting cast is up to the challenge on telling the story as well, often silently delivering the impact of the events, helpless bystanders. It's gonna be hard finding an American who doesn't like this film.Kevin M. W Super Reviewer

Dec 09, 2017Exceedingly powerful, traumatic and emotional, but also uplifting. One of those movies that makes you feel grateful for what you really have. Superb acted by Jake Gyllenhaal too.Ian W Super Reviewer

Oct 25, 2017Emotionally affecting, powerful acting performance by Jake G, and a great true story. Loses a star because it normalizes drinking and driving, which triggered me.Spencer M Super Reviewer
