Stronger (2017)

Based on a true story, Stronger stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Jeff Bauman, a man who lost both legs in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. He has to deal not only with a disability, but with a country that wants to turn him into a symbol of survival. With that description, you usually know what you’re going to get: a very good actor trying their damnedest to get an Oscar in a weepy drama with snot-sodden monologues and soaring strings on the soundtrack. Stronger is not that movie. Gyllenhaal could win countless gongs, and fairly so, but it will be for a movie that is far from lazy award-bait.
