The perfect film

Rating: 10/10 (24 June 2003)

The Shawshank Redemption is a perfect film in every aspect. It has a beautiful score (Thomas Newman) and amazing cinematography. The acting is brilliant and the movie stands up well to repeat viewings. The only minor negative that I have for the film is that the main characters don't seem to age enough in the 20 or 30 years that they're in prison. But this is just a minor quibble. Don't let it deter you from watching this movie. It is a great story and every household should have this in their collection.
