This honorable and enlightening film pays due respect to Jackie Robinson -- a sports legend and courageous American hero.

A dramatization of what Robinson did and what it required, 42 will not disappoint.

It's not easy to play a stoic, but Boseman anchors the movie, and when he smiles, 42, already such a warm story of such cold times, gets even brighter.

Even in the decadent little movements of intimacy, over-sensationalization takes hold and bucks the viewer into a fatiguing stronghold.
