| User ReviewMeg NEveryone is flawless in this film. I caught it on HBO one day and couldn't stop watching it. |
| User Reviewvictor l:fresh: [b][i]Warm Springs is another remarkable film produced by HBO. It tells the unknown Roosevelt's story and his personal fight against polio. The direction is amazing, the performances are excellent, the atmosphere was very accurate. There were 2 hours that I didn't notice because it is a great picture.[/i][/b] |

| User ReviewDanette/Dani AKenneth Branagh embodies the spirit of FDR with sensitivity and panache in this story of his life from the onset of polio to the rebirth of his political career leading up to his election as president. Branagh's performance is truly of the highest calibre and the story is truly ispiring. My highest recommendations!!!! |
| User ReviewShane BTruly inspirational. I didn't cry when Ol' Yeller died but I sure did watching this great movie!!! |
| User ReviewWiebke KMarvelous acting, enlightening bio-pic about the obscure time before Roosevelt became the Great Man of World History, when he struggled to overcome his debilitating disease, polio. See this one before you see Hyde Park on Hudson to better understand the personality & character of FDR & the colorful cast of Real people surrounding him. |
| User ReviewPrivate UVery good movie about FDR, his presidency and his long battle with Polio. Historically accurate. A good watch, even if your not a history geek. |
