beautifully observed

A beautifully observed piece of storytelling with Paul Giammati at the top of his game. Its lovely to be able to go to the cinema and watch a proper story with superb acting unfold with no rush by the director to move the story on......you get to feel for the characters and explore their emotions at their pace. brilliant We start with the very real problem of a lawyer who is just too nice who has a bit of a downturn in fortunes and goes completely against character and exploits an elderly client he doesn't bargain form the complications this may cause and the way Paul Giammati brings this across and the pain you feel for him just shows you what a great job he is doing. the way it all unravels is excellent but painful for the audience ultimately its a superior piece of storytelling which will leave you feeling very happy with the world
