Great, but not a masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2018)

I really, really did like this movie. Maybe even loved this movie! Yes, the acting is great, the plot realistic and gripping, the music phenomenal. Yes it's an incredible directorial debut! However, the movie was not uplifting, which I was hoping and expecting. Instead I left the theater depressed and feeling as if I just went through the wringer. Don't get me wrong, it was wonderful, it just wasn't anything near uplifting and beautiful. Having said this, I'd encourage anyone to see it once!
