What An Experience...

Rating: 9/10 (24 July 2014)

Wow. I don't even know where to begin.
This film is a truly epic story that sucks the viewer in and doesn't let them go. I have rarely come out of a film feeling so emotional, beaten, battered and bruised. What a beautiful portrayal of life and some of its purposes. I thought the acting was outstanding throughout and the soundtrack and cinematography were spot on, all adding to a thoroughly brilliant movie.
I particularly appreciated the effort to stay true to life - this isn't your classic Hollywood blockbuster, this is a beautiful portrayal of two extraordinary yet ordinary lives and you cannot help but become involved in the story as it unfolds.
I always think a good film should lure the viewer into truly caring about the characters and their lives. This did that with almost unrivalled success. A must see.
