Finally. A 10/10 Film.

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2020)

When I saw this film a few years ago at the cinema I couldn't remember the last time I had given a film 10/10. Quite frankly I'd started wondering if I'd ever see a film that I felt deserved that score ever again. And then this came along.
Within about 20 minutes I knew I was going to love it. The cinematography was stunning, especially in the Icelandic scenes. I think it probably particularly struck a nerve with me due to my age being similar to Walter's. Having starred and directed, I have a much deeper respect for Ben Stiller since.
It is perfectly paced and has a beautiful heart. I watched it again last year after a 6 year break, and enjoyed it just as much.
If you want a feel-good tale that will stay with you long after the credits roll, then check this one out.
