Very disappointing...

There are women in the film, but none has anything you could call a personality.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Based on a true story, so it's hard to obtain a scenario with originality. I guess there are better movies to understand how to build a new life after being newly and severely handicapped.The move is just ok. But the same as those where patriotism is prominent and the U.S. need a hero.

Great Movie, story was well told casting was good. The director did a great job of telling the story?

Stronger tells the story of Jeff Bauman survival and recovery from being a victim of the Boston Marathon bombings.This film does not shy away from the gritty reality of what Jeff faced. It courageous shows his family and experiences - warts and all.The gentleman in the cowboy hat that helped him has a conversation regarding PTSD that I am sure resonated with many movie goers.Perseverance & American Spirit at its best.Fantastic movie - worth a view.

My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. It is a well made movie and the lead actors all do fine jobs. It isn't an entertaining movie as such, the tragedy of a marathon bystander getting his legs blown off followed by the long road back to some sense of normalcy.The family members featured here are vulgar types, often I wanted to reach in and punch the mom or the dad, I suppose it is authentic, I've never been around Boston blue collar people. They are hard to watch most of the time.Jake Gyllenhaal is his usual good self as the victim, Jeff Bauman, a worker at Costco who only goes to see the finish of the 2013 Boston Marathon because his on-off girlfriend is running and he wanted to show her he had some responsibility. She is played also very well by Tatiana Maslany as Erin Hurley. Perhaps the best is British actress Miranda Richardson as the mother, Patty Bauman, who is so irritating all the way through. She is the one I most wanted to punch.Anyway it is a worthwhile movie if a viewer wants a glimpse into what kind of background this injured person had and how he was able to overcome this tragedy and get on with life.
