Like a sparkle in the dark this movie shines brightly

I was making a list of movies that I was going to see this week, and this wasn't on my list, but something made me pick this up at the last moment. I am extremely glad for it. This movie is very inspiring, has a strong message and has a lot of heart in it. Aspire to be your best self no matter what life throws at you. This message will never get old because each of us suffers from a severe case of ADD and suffers from memory loss, forgetting most of the things we decide to do with our lives. Thus, we need to be reminded of it continuously. It is challenging but it is worth it since that is our only goal in our life.

Cheryl is a flawed character, like all of us, lost in the tiny space that was her life. She tried to cope with it by denying it, escaping for it for some long years. But like every action you take she suffered their consequences, and gave up her faulty ways in the end. Now she was empty, filled with guilt for her choices, wanting desperately to feel something different but couldn't. She decided to do something extremely challenging which she had no idea about to discover something different in her life. With hope of a new future, she embarked on the untraveled road leaving behind everything familiar to her. She lost her faith in herself many times along the way but never gave up her decision to see it through the end. She realized that despite all the challenges she faced, she was still here. All the things that happened to her had led her to this place. She had faced her deepest fears and realized that they don't hold her back anymore. Just the decision to face them had set her free as if they were nothing but an illusion in her head preventing her from going ahead. Forgiving herself for everything she had done, she rediscovered herself unbounded, invulnerable and ready to face anything this mysterious life throws on her.

This was beautiful, and the director conveyed this tall task convincingly with the help of stellar performance from all the actors, the cinematographer, and amazing music developers.
