I just came on to post about this movie. I thought it was tremendous. And, I have to politely disagree with on this point...I don't think you have to like boxing at all to love this movie. I'd say it's 90% family and relationships, 10% boxing.
The acting was top notch all around, and I definitely agree with Melissa Leo and Christian Bale winning Oscars. they were superb. Fantastic movie (and filmed in one month! crazy!).
