Soulful tearjerker

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2017)

Good, understated acting in a gripping human interest story against a backdrop of modern day real world grit which should shame and anger us all. I was actually moved to tears, after initially fearing that the film would be a weak and slushy, sentimental drama so typical of the genre. Sure, there are moments when the viewer's emotions are manipulated - as in every film - but who wouldn't be moved by these events? Sensitively handled, the story is so well told that we are with Sheroo all the way and left wanting to know more about the real story and characters. This happened so recently. More films like this, please.
