Race | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

A more profound and historically insightful film than Race would have found a truthful way to deal with the contradictions and concrete social obstacles that reality, not mythology, presents.

Ultimately "Race" isn't really about race or, specifically racing. It's about sportsmanship and the ability of sports to cut through personal prejudices of all sorts.

Race is a perfectly entertaining biopic which - despite its loftier goals - ends up being movie-by-numbers.

If you're looking for insight into what made Jesse Owens tick, you won't find much of that in Race. But in its own straightforward way, the film still manages to be contemplative, educational and inspiring, and you'll be glad you saw it.

A solidly executed biopic that crosses the finish line a winner.
