Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2016)

The Shawshank Redemption is a timeless classic that will send the viewer through multiple emotions with its multi-layered fascinating plot. I often get asked by those who haven't seen the film: "what's it about?", but I never know how to answer that question. The truth is that I don't feel that I can briefly summarise such a stunning beautiful film whilst doing it full justice. All I can say is that I can guarantee that if you don't love it, that you will at least very much like it. It's no fluke that this film stands at #1 in the IMDb top 250.
Despite deservedly winning a mere 14 awards, unfortunately this will always be one of the best films in history to have not won an Oscar, but don't let that affect your opinion.
