dancing worms

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2016)

I got to be honest here: I've watched this film two times now and at the first time I cried and cried and shed even more tears towards the end. The story is great, it's based upon a book (which I haven't read yet) and the story line is great. It's about this small-town girl getting to know the world a little better, through the eyes of someone who has seen it all. But it's also about a young man who deems his life worthless and him getting to see the world through the eyes of someone who hasn't seen anything.
I thought the relationship between Lou and Patrick was acted out a bit over the top and I can not stress enough how much Emilia Clarke's eyebrows annoyed the frickity-frack out of me. It's like she has two worms on her face, performing a mating dance ALL THE TIME. Don't get me wrong, she is a great actress, but chill out with the eyebrows: we can already see every single emotion clearly written on your face without them.
