Starring: Jamie Foxx, Robert Downey, Jr.
This movie is based on the true story of journalist Steve Lopez (Downey), whose L.A. Times column chronicled the life of Nathaniel (Foxx), a homeless Juilliard dropout. The astounding Foxx evokes both laughter and tears. Harrowing scenes of skid row will linger in memory long after the film’s final fade.
