Simply stunning

Rating: 10/10 (19 April 2015)

Let this be the first thing, I have not read the book as yet so I can't compare that to the film.
The actors in this play their respective parts to perfection. Nothing is over acted in this fantastic story and trip through the eyes of Alan Turin. His autistic behaviour and his charm and awkwardness are played so well by Benedict Cumberbatch. He knows when to be quiet in his role but yet his actions, his presence are what really shine through.
I found myself absolutely falling in love with this film.
Keira Knightly finally played a role she was perfect for, she wasn't over the top which I usually find her to be.
The story which I will not give away to much for some who do not know was of a heartbreaking kind on so many levels but I have to say this film will go down as a top 5 film of all time.
The modern Era has Shawshank Redemption and I say this is on Par.
Enjoy this movie for it's classic settings which are done to perfection, great acting by all and a fascinating insight into one of history's most defining times during the war.
9.5 out of 10
Enjoy
