Simply an annual "Can't Miss"!

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2013)

The acting is what you would expect from this excellent cast and they don't fail to deliver.
This is one of those classics where the winter holiday season isn't complete without seeing this movie.
While the plot is fascinating and intriguing, the human dynamics and character complexity is what makes this film so compelling. The evolution of George Bailey - from a compassionate youth, to a bitter and broken man that cannot see any end to a dark and foreboding tunnel, is both subtle and thoroughly real. There are very few people who cannot relate to that kind of despair, and his return-trip to salvation never fails to be uplifting.
Fantastic film.
