This really impacted me

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2016)

I watched the trailer and immediately was drawn to this for several reasons - namely Helen Mirren is one of my favorite actresses and I knew she would do well in this role, and also the fact that this was based on true events dealing with such an incredible part of our history that shouldn't be forgotten. They story line was well laid out and kept me very invested through the entire movie, and I was surprised at how involved Ryan Reynolds becomes personally involved in the adventure. The history that was woven into the present day was absolutely top notch - magical. I was so affected after it was over - it really made me reflect on my heritage and about my posterity. I think everyone should watch this movie.
