Jessie Buckley with one of the best performances I can remember seeing in the cinema. Such raw emotions throughout. This was a movie that made you smile, it gave you hope and then it strips it away and explores how different people cant react to one of the most traumatic events person can experience. A brilliantly acted film that builds to an incredible final moment that I felt was a bit overwhelming but that might have been the fact that the movie got me on the verge of crying and then reminded me of secondary school why showing me hamlet.
I am however going to be brave and honest and say I wasn’t 100% following with every detail by the end/last 15 minutes. (I do think I was just a bit overwhelmed also to be honest)
There were also a few more “supernatural” aspects of the film that were referred that didn’t seem impact the plot in ways that I expected (this isn’t necessarily a critique). I don’t know if I am just being stupid, if these are omissions lots in translation from the adaptation or they were meant to be aspects of world building that weren’t intended to meaningfully affect the plot.
An incredible film that I am sure I could have gotten more from were I not so stupid.
