About This Movie

Boston (2017) is a documentary that really digs deep into the heart of the Boston Marathon. The film’s pacing flows nicely, weaving through its history from just 15 participants to the inclusion of women runners, a narrative filled with both triumph and tragedy. There’s this palpable sense of community and spirit, especially when recounting the harrowing events of 2013. The tone fluctuates between somber reflection and uplifting celebration, particularly when it showcases the resilience shown in 2014. Practical effects aren’t a focus here, but the storytelling feels so real, you almost forget you’re watching a film. It’s about more than just running; it’s a human story of perseverance and dedication.
