Mr Crowe - just wow

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2015)

Every now and the Russell Crowe likes to remind us all about what a powerhouse of an actor he is. This film has left me feeling like I have been beaten with a cricket bat, but in a good way.
In this stunning directorial debut Crowe tells a story of fatherly love and devotion. Add a dusting of the horror and futility of war and let the emotions simmer.
The acting is of a very high standard throughout, the direction and writing is great, the cinema and production is perfect.
9.9 out of 10.
why the missing 0.1? It might improve on a second viewing.
Many thanks Mr Crowe
