Good heart warming film

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2018)

Let's take the bad stuff first, though very few to talk about. The film is a bit long, If you watched it in he cinema you may be forgiven for fidgeting at the end. The ending does take a long time to culminate. I suspect something to do with building suspense, it just didn't quite have it.
Now for the good stuff, the premise is great. Death takes some time off and he hangs out with Anthony Hopkins, the only catch is at the end he's going to kill him. Sounds more like a horror film than a romantic film. In all seriousness, the film takes a great premise and some good acting, then lets you feel the raw emotions of a man who quite clearly struggles to show his feelings, even with death so near.
It's a heart warming film, that in places makes you feel true sorrow for the main character, esepcially when he describes his wife.
Thomas Newman (Spielberg of soundtracks) absoutely blows you away with his powerful music.
Good film, just a bit too long for comfort.
