Review:

My goodness, what a lovely movie! I adored pretty much every single part of it. It made me laugh out loud on several occasions, grow sad, shocked, amazed and nostalgic for a time I didn’t even live. Wow, just wow.

All the actors were absolutely wonderful, in my opinion. All the characters were very different, they had their own voices and struggles and I enjoy getting to know each and every one, even when I could not sympathise with their actions. Everyone is just so real, so genuine.

The camera work was very good as well and the visual effects were appropriate and entrancing. That scene of the ocean… I could almost smell the saltiness in the air.

This movie made me crave for a time when things were so much simpler and reminded me how we take happiness, family and friends for granted until we no longer have those things and are left to contemplate them from afar. It could be a depressing movie, but it is not. I hope you will watch it and that it will have you go through that kaleidoscope of emotions.
