Why watch this film?
For Jimmy Smith, Jr. 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.
"In a way inspired by Eminem's own career beginnings, the movie captures the spirit of the suburbs, with its problems and opportunities. With a script already familiar to Hollywood - about the underdog who manages to overcome all difficulties - the movie has some good moments and a great soundtrack, including 'Lose Yourself', which won the Oscar for Best Original Song for the rapper."
