I probably can't add anything insightful to the nearly-300 reviews. But what I can say is that I let tears of joy and delight course down my face frequently throughout the film, first at Mandela's fusion of shrewdness & nobility in promoting the national rugby team, second at getting the team to expect and give more of themselves and reaping the rewards, and lastly, at the effort paying off on a huge scale. We will not see Mandela's like again in our lifetime.
