This is the true story of a single mom who put herself through law school to represent her brother who was sentenced to life in prison for murder. And while you can draw similarities to Erin Brokovich here, this particular mom spent 18 years doing it. Respect.Hilary Swank plays the long-suffering sis to a brilliant-as-always Sam Rockwell, and we’re also treated to cameos from Juliette Lewis and Melissa Leo, who just won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. It’s a story that is too painfully dramatic not to be true, which makes for compelling viewing.
Rating: 4 outta 5.
