Masterful film making

Rating: 9/10 (20 January 2014)

You don't get emotive, engaging story telling like this any more. Every aspect of the film, from the cinematography to the performances are top notch. The beauty of the film is that even the smaller characters have a story to tell, a journey to take you on, which seems to be completely missing in films now a days. Though Stephen King is normally associated with horror, this story is very human and touching, to the point where it becomes inspirational. In fact it has been King's non horror stories that seemed to have been most successful at being adapted into movies. This movie along with Stand by Me, though I'm sure many will disagree with me on that point. Well worth a watch when you're having a quiet night in.
