a review of

This was great although I wished it had ben a little longer and gone into a little more detail. But I love docs like this or The Celluloid Closet for dissecting representation in film. Loved the folks who were interviewed. The montage near the end of the able bodied actors who had played disabled characters walking up to the stage to accept their Oscars to roaring applause and standing ovations, went really hard. editing to add: i have found a factual inaccuracy in their describing Million Dollar Baby as based on a true story. it is not based on any one real person but is based on some fictionalized stories by a boxing trainer. Most of the rest of what they have to say about the film's representation is accurate though
