Even if you haven't read the book, you'll fall in love...

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2014)

I can't stop thinking about this movie. Having loved the book, I was skeptical the movie would be super fluffy + cheesy but it far exceeded my expectations. It was filmed so beautifully, really capturing the magic in the moments the actor's exquisitely brought to life, creating characters that everyone in the audience, fans of the book or not, fell in love with. The music is exceptional as well, really adding to each and every scene. I'm listening to the soundtrack as I it here and write this, remembering scenes from the movie and Gus's smile.
I'm going to have to go see this one in the theatre again. It truly was one of the best movie experiences I've had in a long time. Reminded me of why I'm such a fan of movies... they can be truly magical.
