Carlos Samuel E Aug 23 Una de las mejores películas que he visto con una escencia y exquisitez buena. See more Chris M Dec 22 Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! Wow!! See more 06/26/2024 Great story of a family overcoming difficulties and through grit and determination, achieving success in spite of obstacles. A true American story. Ben Carson for President! See more Jitendradas L 01/11/2024 First of all, the mother never aged. They needed a more skillful approach to the makeup in the film. The character development was weak. They didn't show his struggle to learn. They just pointed at it. I would have loved to have seen his romance and his struggle. It was a missed opportunity in many ways. Forgettable. Watch a different movie. I always aim for five stars and this movie falls short at 3. See more Navi H 09/02/2023 Great story but the movie is incredibly boring and the script is atrocious. See more John B 06/03/2023 I enjoyed this one and the story that it told us about the great surgeon Ben Carson and how he came to be from early life growing up with his mother guiding the way. Good cast with Cuba Gooding as Ben to bring the story to life was great also and added to enjoyment of the story. See more Read all reviews
