Brilliant lovely touching and just fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2018)

It has been a very long time since a unique and beautifully touching film has come out. With everything being remakes, sequels and just plain garbage it's refreshing to see something that actually touches on all things fantastic. Humor, sadness, love, loss, beauty, laughter, passion, and books. This slice of heaven is all that. From start to finish you fall in love with each character, with the scenery, with books and in this case even a roasted pig.
The back story of how the "book club" started is brilliant. Just people needing to connect during war. People that know each other yet really don't then finally become a family. They find companionship, love, strength, loss and family in this little group who all are just trying to survive during the most horrific existence . It's truly beautiful in every definition of the word.
A gem of a story, a beautiful location, perfectly fleshed out characters and even more perfectly chosen cast. Well done.
