Surprisingly Fantastic

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2020)

I went into this movie with a completely open mind, unaware that what I was going to get would inspire me, make me cry and really make me appreciate my life a little bit more.
August Rush is the inspiring tale of a young musical prodigy separated by his parents through adoption whose only goal is to meet his parents, who he believes he can communicate with through the music that exists all around him.
It's a fantastic story that's both well told and well acted with characters you can really care about from the very beginning. A young Freddie Highmore carries this film like no other could. It's equal parts emotional and inspiring, definitely a must-see movie.
