If this movie is not an Oscar contender, then I don't know what the Academy purpose! Absolutely extraordinary! Moving true story, heartbreaking, inspirational, smart, and let's the world know that you cannot place people in one box and that's all they are. It also shows the strength and love of a family. The actors and direction are phenomenal. Chiwetel Ejiofor has proven his character building in past performances but his directing talents are just as great. He made each character important to the story and the audience care about them. He made no one a hero in this story; they were flawed but you could empathize with what they did and why. I can't say enough about Mary J. Blige! She's a Renaissance woman of the 21st century. A complete entertainer!! This holiday season, take a look at this movie and be moved in your spirit.
