This acclaimed and very anticipated drama by the director behind the acclaimed TV show Normal People was one of the movies this year I was most looking forward to; and safe to say, it more than lives up to its expectations.
It is the ultimate feel-good story, if you will - showcasing the hardships of life without pulling any punches, yet instilling a sense of hope and finding one's self in beautiful ways. It is a very deep and profound message that works beautifully, and is conveyed in a realistic manner in that you can't save everyone, but that joy can be found in the little things and small places.
The actors, as acclaimed as they are, convey this story beautifully, and though I doubt this film will make it to the Oscars, it would be very much deserving.
The soundtrack, cinematography, cutting and editing is also splendid, very memorable and beautifully put together.
Definitely a great and recommended film for lovers of film, and everyone else!
