Outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2017)

Every once in a while a film comes along which stands out from the pack. A film where all of the elements come together to create a visual storytelling work of art. It doesn't happen often, perhaps once a year if we are lucky. And it nearly always happens with true stories like this one.
The cinematography is beautiful, and whilst the locations perhaps made this easy. Add a musical score that is one of the best I have heard in years, and you are still only halfway to making a masterpiece. The cast and direction complete the recipe. With brilliant performances from all involved.
If there is one film you see this year it should be this one. It is an emotional journey with moments of sadness and anger, mixed in with joy and relief. A good movie makes you feel something, this one makes you feel everything.
