Jaw dropping

Rating: 10/10 (26 August 2016)

When I went to watch this movie, I was feeling particularly down so I did what any normal person does and googled 'feel good Netflix movies'. Of course I had heard of Shawshank redemption- who hasn't- but I was surprised to find it on a list of feel good movies as I had always had it down as a sad, depressing movie about loss. I'm pretty sure I presumed this because of where it was set- in a prison- one of the most hopeless places a man/woman could be if you ask me. However, while watching the movie I realised I was wrong. This movie is about hope, acceptance, love and friendship a,lung many other important themes. The story line is just stunningly moving and the cast... Just amazing. I would recommend this movie to anyone who needs a feel good movie that isn't just another chick flick, that needs a movie that will hit home.
