Great great movie.

The sets. Costumes. Lighting. Acting. Great job by everyone.

Sally Hawkins is someone I absolutely do not recognize as a celebrity. Yet I am enthralled by her character. She plays as a real person. Her character development throughout the film is amazing. I can feel her thoughts as though they are speaking without words.

Michael Shannon is the villain that comes once in a while. The bathroom scene after his introduction put everything in perspective. It was very easy to dislike him. To overcome him is to win, and we wanted to so win. The turning away of the colored couple in the diner further showed what a tough world they live in.

The cuts were pretty nice as well. Try to notice some of them. There was a great flow to this movie. I felt attached most of the way through.

Acting: 9.7/10 There was just enough characters to speak. It was almost perfect in dialogue that made story flow. The dialogue and the characters were to a point perfect in dialogue and just enough of them to keep it interesting.

Plot: 9/10 There was tension that I actually moved to the edge of my seat a couple times.

Di Says: For film lovers, this is a must watch. The sets and lighting were absolutely on point and amazing. The music was a solid plus. This movie is NOT for everyone.  There is a likability to the main character that keeps you enthralled to her happiness. Definitely worth your time on a moviepass and usually worth paying the dollars if you didn’t have it.
