100 Meters (2016)

It is a sin that this film isn't widely marketed, known & watched. It handles a tough subject. It presents both the highs and the lows elegantly and warmly. This is a 10* on an absolute basis, but even more so relative to the hackneyed, politicized tripe Hackneyedwood makes out of this type of story. I have said it in other reviews and I'll say it again: If you want to see good stories told simply and well, without a bunch of BS layered on top, and without a bunch of over-acting, you have to AVOID HACKNEYEDWOOD & watch films like this.

One of the most beautiful explications of multiple sclerosis on movie over created. The movie advocates the disease and all of the negative effects that it brings to the family and difficulties that causes to the life of the patient and the careers. The language is gentile, the set is perfect and all of the feelings are positive despite the seriousness of the disease. I felt totally inspired by Ramon, he offers inspiration, courage and gives strength not just for the MS survivors but to the general public as well. The producers and all of the participants in the movies should receive the most positive critiques as well not just by making story line of such a serious topic but for the decision to produce a movie on this disease which is quite rare in the movie industry. I believe all of the participants in the film should be proud by creation of a movie that will help MS survivors and make this disease visible to wider public. Most perfect part of the movie is that despite of the main topic, it tackled relations within the family and introduced Nino Bravo to the viewers. Music, dialogues, photography and costumes are extraordinary for Spanish movie. Dani Rovira is remarkable, perfect characterization of MS survivor, perfect actor, just perfect. Excellent movie...

This is a touching look at multiple sclerosis (MS) and how it gradually wreaks havoc on a family, but ultimately helps build the family's unity and sense of belonging, too. Dani Rovira is very good in the central role, and he is capably seconded by his father in law, played by Elejalde, and his wife, played by the beautiful Alexandra Jimenez, who shows what a woman's quiet and unwavering love can do for a man. There are many memorable sequences in the movie, but I liked in particular the exchanges among the MS patients who congregate for treatment. Life is a very flimsy and wanton thing, and watching this movie only heightened my perception of how privileged I am to be alive, healthy, and with my own beloved wife and family.

What an amazing heartwarming story 'bout a man fighting for his life. Watch this and be inspired a 100 times. It's not often that I get carried away by movies like this, but this one got to me. I'm a grown man but I cried several times during this movie. If you haven't seen it yet, just do it, you won't regret it. 7,1 is underrated! - Don't overlook this movie just because it's not a big Hollywood flick.
