I did not see this movie when it was first released and I’m glad I didn’t. I wouldn’t have had the same reaction then as I do today when I watched for the first time.
If you’ve never experienced soul-damaging grief then the story is just a story.
The tone, timing, searching is all about the journey each of us goes through when a great loss in our lives happens and the journey is different for everyone.
I loved the message of hope and that there is joy after the heart-breaking loss of a loved one.
Thank you Clint Eastwood for your gift of storytelling.
