Masterful

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2014)

This film is a work of art in itself. It was masterfully directed, and very worthwhile to watch. The acting, of course, was top-notch. Every member of the cast pulled through with an exceptional performance.
The best of this film, though, can be appreciated in it's subtleties. The character development was dedicated, but not in-your-face. Throughout the story, we experience a tantalizing build-up to a climax. The chemistry between Lawrence and Cooper is almost tangible, especially as they dance. The final few scenes, within which the story arcs, are spectacular. Instead of relating to the characters, I felt as if I WAS one of the characters. It felt that real.
Truly, much more depth to this movie than I ever anticipated. I hope to see more like it very soon.
