Modern American Classic

Rating: 9/10 (26 January 2015)

This movies is almost perfect. Like many movies I would say it could be a tad shorter. Though that does add to truly feeling like Andy has been in prison as long as he has been. The music, the photography, the acting, the writing... it is all perfect. I don't know anyone who doesn't not like this film. I think it gets better with time. I want to buy this soundtrack I loved Thomas Newman's score so much. I think it is my favourite piece of his. Even the supporting characters in this film are fantastic. The guards, the other prisoners. All performances are 100% gripping. I can't even tell you how many times I have seen this film and try to enforce that anyone who hasn't start watching as soon as they can.
