Phenomenal acting all round
This movie I happen to watch as I was surfing the channels to catch something good. Well, I caught a monster of a gem. This movie had it all. The acting, storyline, the photography was just mesmerizing. Ong Hillary character was superb. Her acting of this character she deserved 10oscars. This movie held me captive from start to finish. Such a wonderful, beautifully written, photography n sets n on n on. Just awesome. Her journey backwards n Forward was phenomenal to say the least. Very rare you catch a movie like that these days. I should have recorded it. Definitely a keeper. What a great movie. - rawk10 - 11 October 2023
Brilliant!
What a touching, brilliant film!
Colman and Ward's acting is dazzling! I could feel every emotion as if they were with me in the middle of my living room. The chemistry they have between the two is incredible.
The flow of the story and the way the scriptwriter and director handled the events were enjoyable. The movie went by like water, I didn't want it to end.
Considering how mentally ill people are actually exploited and excluded from society, the tolerance and support shown to Hilary by her colleagues is admirable. And the anger and hatred that rises within me when I see the severe traumatic issues that black people have experienced for a long time...
However, despite all this, it reminded me once again how much we rise when we find the light (energy) of life, and how critical and intense it is for each of us to find the light that suits us.
