An Amazing Experience from Start to Finish!

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2018)

This was an excellent movie! At times both uplifting and grounding, it had a strong ethic of character-driven plot and character development throughout that it a strong emotional impact. The centerpiece of this film really was the performances of the actors, which made the characters come to life. I think the motivations, the hopes, dreams, and desires of each individual character was a key component in making us, the audience, care about what happened to them. This is a strong point for the writing, too, which was excellent throughout the whole film. The direction the film went in was bold, and I think it was executed well. It's really interesting that Eastwood (director, role of Frankie), also wrote the score, which was well-composed.
