Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2015)

This is by far the best film I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. It is a story that consists of friendship, love, hope, and suspense. The entire premise and sub plot is essential and deliberate in making this movie the best. I've cried every time and will continue to the next time I see it. Some scenes bring tears, others are just there to give it better context. It has a great plot twist as well as a climax, neither will be seen coming if you pay attention. My favorite scene is towards the end once Andy has left and Red is struggling with his absence. During his wonderful narration, Red throws excuses to why he is sad, in the end he just misses his friend. Give it a chance, take the time to experience yet enjoy it! I have seen over 700 movies and counting, this kills them all.
