I was quite lucky to see this film on the big screen at a local screening. I've always been a story-driven person, and I was pleasantly surprised to find myself completely immersed in the story of this film, from start to finish.
What makes this film so immersive and gripping in addition to its brilliant writing; it's in the amazing sound design and score, the direction which puts you in the middle of the action and emotions of each scene, and the talented cast who brought all of the characters to life. This film is sure to move and surprise even the most stoic of viewers.
I'm usually a very tough sell on movies of similar themes, but I can honestly say, I left the theater wanting more. I'm hoping for a sequel (or prequel) story, because the characters are so darn good, I can't help but want to know more of their stories. I highly and enthusiastically recommend this film!
