Spectacularly, Hauntingly, Painfully, Stunningly Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (4 April 2016)

I could share all sorts of insights about characters and plot lines and nuances and musical score, anon anon. But the truth is, it had me captivated (no pun intended) from start to finish. I honestly can't describe it, it's just absolutely breathtaking. I wept in pain for the boy, and I wept in pride for the boy, knowing full well this was fiction. The actor who played him (to take nothing at all away from Brie Larson) was absolutely brilliant in this movie.
All I can say is what I titled this review: this movie was spectacularly, hauntingly, painfully, stunningly beautiful.
Most will probably not find this review helpful. But I'm fine with that. Find a couple hours that you can give this movie your attention, and sit down and immerse yourself. I found it 100% worth it.
