Review: Freedom Writers
An inspiring true story, starring Hilary Swank as a first-time teacher thrown in the deep with a multi-cultural class in a time and place where gang related violence is on the daily menu. Makes you think of 1995’s Dangerous Minds ? Yeah maybe. It’s still has a character of it’s own, maybe even more so. The whole story is nicely packaged, and while somewhat predictable, it delivers the drama and it’s ultimately feel-good and fullfilling.7½.
