About this movie

"Eminem wins by a knockout!" raves Rolling Stone, as the Grammy Award-winning phenomenon makes his feature film debut in this gripping story about the boundaries that hold us back - and the courage that can set us free. For Jimmy Smith, Jr. (Eminem), life is a daily fight just to keep hope alive. Feeding his dreams in Detroit's vibrant music scene, Jimmy wages an extraordinary personal struggle to find his own voice - and earn a place in a world where rhymes rule, legends are born and every moment is another chance. From Academy Award winner Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential) and Oscar-winning producer Brian Grazer (A Beautiful Mind), 8 Mile is the triumphant film Time Magazine hails as "Powerful!" and Entertainment Weekly applauds as "Electrifying and Mesmerizing!"

Ratings and reviews

This film showed roughly his life before he went famous and how he had strive for success even though his doors for success were hardly open. This film tells you that don't give up on anything, just keep going and you will win. 'do what your brain is telling you what to do, not your heart, your heart is stupid' - Eminem

It's not Marshall's whole life story but it's based on a short period of his life, he's a ridiculously good rapper and musician, and this film only adds to that fact. If you like Eminem, D12, rap, or even just music or films in general then this film is a must see

Best film ever made. I dont watch movies ever tbh but this is the only film i care about, it is about Eminem's life and the struggles he had to go through growing up and look at him now. Best film , watch it , embrace it, love it.
