Ratings and reviews

One of the best buddy movies in all cinema history. A tale of tenacity, of persistence, of faith in freedom, of never giving up on what you believe in. Acted so beautifully & remarkable endurance that it defies grief of the personal circumstances. Legends making art to inspire all others in life. Blessed.
