Million Dollar Baby

One of Clint Eastwood's greatest achievements, a thematically rich, dramatically bold and emotionally devastating film, with Hilary Swank on Oscar-winning form as a young boxer trained for the championship by Eastwood's veteran coach.

A deserving multi-Oscar-winner, and a magnificently understated film about the profound changes that affect a veteran LA boxing manager (Eastwood) when he's reluctantly persuaded by a colleague (Morgan Freeman) to train up a young woman (Hilary Swank) for the championship. One of Eastwood's very greatest achievements, the film is thematically rich, dramatically bold, ethically astute, and emotionally devastating.
