    "Conviction"--An Oscar-worthy Film

    by kellyhead2010

    "Conviction" is the best movie I've seen this year. It's been quite some time since I've watched such a quality film as this. Hilary Swank, Minnie Driver, and Juliette Lewis were at their very best. Sam Rockwell was absolutely brilliant. This movie is superbly directed and very well written. It is a movie that is appropriate for most age groups. I will definitely see this movie again, and will certainly make it a part of my collection upon DVD release. I see many Oscar nominations.

    Conviction

    by delilah333

    This is a "must-see." Hilary Swank is truly one of the great actresses of our time. Kudos to Sam Rockwell and Juliette Lewis, and Minnie Driver who deserves a best supporting actress nomination. She was superb and her ability to always effect an American accent so perfectly, in this case with a Massachuetts cadence is outstanding. Great direction by Tony Goldwyn (although this ability is in his genes and he makes good use of it). A profound story - and a riveting movie. It is always so sad to see how many innocent people are wrongly accused and sentenced to prison. I have rarely been in the theater where the audience was so quiet.
