gutwrenchingly beautiful

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2018)

I just do not understand the bad reviews on here..
This movie was amazing. I could not be more impressed with Brie Larsons performance as Ma - except for Jacobs Tremblays performance as Jack. How such a young child can act so incredibly well is beyond me.
Both characters are absolutely believable and this movie really does break your heart.
Where most movies would climax is only the half way point of this movie making for very interesting far from usual storytelling.
Generally slow moving (but not in a bad way) I think maybe 20mins could have/should have been taken off and would make for a better overall film as it did feel like it was a bit long for what it could have been.
Would have loved to understand the characters of the dad and captor more as these were not explored.
Overall well worth the watch, I will remember this movie for a long time!
