Oscars here we come!

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2016)

This is definitely the 2015 Best Picture winner, but I doubt very much it will be recognised as such. Not only is it an incredible story, but it is a true one which actually changed people's lives and the world. Some people have criticised for the lack of action or show stopping wow factor but the reality is, that is not how it went down and bravo to Josh Singer and Tom McCarthy for not bowing to industry expectation and over dramatizing the truth. It is also worth a mention, to those who have yet to see it, there are no over the top costumes or eye catching make up, no romance or pointless sex scenes, the set is a basic office and a small diner and nothing blows up, shocking I know.
Tom McCarthy goes up against everything 'Hollywood' and should hopefully come out on top.
As for the acting, brilliant by this all star cast, each one brighter than the next. It however can not go without saying, Mark Ruffalo as Mike Rezendes is without a doubt the best performance I have seen all year. He left me speechless and may have even brought a tear to my eye with his gripping emotion and ability to bring out the heart in his character. If an Oscar is not imminent then I'm not sure what is wrong with this world!
Just my opinion.
