A spectacular movie which is heart-rending and soul crushing. Thanks to an exceptionally brilliant performance by Brie Larson, this movie might be small but it's impact is enormous. Without any doubt one of the most impressive piece of filmmaking in years 👍👍👍
The acting was just absolutely superb from everyone, especially from Bree Larson and Trembaly. And I completely agree, they both deserve Best Acting noms. I'd really see Brie get one this time around, she was robbed with Short Term 12.
The thing that really makes the film work is how real it feels. It doesn't feel like a dramatization, it's never once felt contrived. I've never seen an entire theatre cry this much, but every tear was well earned.
