It doesn't get any better than this

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2020)

Ordinary people often face extraordinary obstacles. And so it was for Tom Joad, family, friends and their kind.
If superb acting from the lead character to the bit parts entices you to watch, then do so. Every part is played to perfection. It would have been easy to overact. But the restraint in each performance is enviable. The body language in this film is matched by the cinematography. Truncated. Abrupt. Minimalist. Poignant.
Perhaps my favorite film.... certainly too five.
