A Beautiful Film, 17 September 2005
10/10

This movie has it all. It is moving, in it's acting and direction...it is amazing, and it will leave you in awe. It is a film, albeit not very long, about one of Canada's greatest hero's. It shows the inspiring, emotional, and tragic Marathon of Hope that Terry Fox endured to raise money for Cancer Research. Sean Ashmore is amazing as the lead actor in the film, and the co-stars did just as good a job. It is a film that everyone worldwide should have seen.

The sad fact that at the time I am writing this, it has not even been rated 5 times yet, is not how it should be. This is a film that should have by all accounts seen the Big-Screen. And it would, in my opinion, have won a few Oscars. It will make you proud to be Canadian, and will inspire all who watch it to be a greater person.

"Beautiful" 10/10
