Simple story, simple film and simply brilliant....

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2019)

Its hard to say why but this is just a great film. The story line could not be simpler, based on a true story, its about a white man drives a black man across the American south in the early 60's. There isn't a lot more to it apart from that, and yet it is captivating. Its about 2 hours long but it felt like 10 minutes.
Thankfully the film does not try to ram home any particular message, it shows all sides of a very different time and it works wonderfully.
The acting and character development is just about perfect, they have you totally bought into them very quickly and nothing feels like its exaggerated at any point. There are some really good laughs, some tears and a lots of admiration.
This film deserves all the awards it gets.
