As Close to Perfect as it Gets

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2014)

I will start off by stating that this is the first review I have written on IMDb even though I visit the site almost daily. I feel compelled to praise this movie for many reasons. First, watching this movie made me cry for the first time since my grandfather died when I was nine years old (I am now 25). Second, hearing people say a movie is "powerful" has always been one of my major pet-peeves, but this expression has become the only way that I can justifiably summarize this film. I have always said that Michael Fassbender is one of the most underestimated actors of our time, and Steve McQueen has proved to be one of the most incredible up-and- coming directors. Instant classic.
