Million Dollar Baby
Overview
Don't let anyone tell you what this movie is really about. Go in blind. Clint Eastwood's boxing drama starts as one film and becomes another — I'll say no more, because the turn hits harder cold. Swank plays a waitress chasing one last shot at glory; Eastwood's gruff trainer and Freeman's warm narration carry you there. It's tender, devastating, and morally thorny in ways sports movies rarely attempt. Bring tissues. Then sit quietly for a while.
