Powerful
Excellent but underrated film
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
