Fantastic!
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
