Love it - in its essence, it’s a coming-of-age story put into relation of the history of the earth and our solar system. If that doesn’t blow your mind, then what? Great performances by everybody, you just have to let go and inhale what’s happening!
What a timely movie that depicts a “based on a true story “ of a man who saw injustice, collaborated with others and used his administrative skills to provide a way of escape from brutality of humanity to humanity, which includes the most vulnerable, children. Anthony Hopkins gave a moving performance, bringing many to tears in the theater!
Excellent movie, having just seen it again after a long time. I have no doubt that this story is real, kids‘ lives destroyed after a stupid mistake, it’s coming and get you just as easy as that. The guards satisfying their sadistic desires without much of an oversight, and whatever else was happening at that juvenile for-profit prison. The second half is a Monte Christo story of payback, well told. Acting is superb by all, no one to single out specifically. Those who think it’s a hoax, think again. Juvenile records are apparently destroyed after a while, and the guard‘s testimony was stricken from the court records. So, if the story is true, there is no proof of it ever happening, right? Nevertheless tragic, one of those movies that stick with you for a long time…
This is about a woman who knew her destiny and answered the call. It's so much easier to have courage, when you know your duty in life. A quote from the movie: "You can serve your weakness, or you can serve your purpose." Watch her fearlessness and confidence reign supreme.
seeing the hospital scene on the big screen is utterly life changing.
Excellent movie! Great acting and cinematography. Would have given 5 stars, but this Catholic Sister was not portrayed in an authentic way, as her Catholic faith was not displayed (as it was in real life). She was only showed praying once (sort of). I noticed this, and it was out of character for her based on what I've read. However, the movie is still excellent. Wish Angel Studios would have portrayed her Catholicity, her love in and for God which drove her love for the children and those marginalized in society. Otherwise, still an excellent film.
With a notoriously difficult book to bring to the screen, Denis Villeneuve has created a masterpiece. Staggering visually, narratively, and superbly acted, this film is an awe-inspiring epic that will be cited as one of our greatest sci-fi films, meaning it will be considered one of our greatest films. It's what big-budget movies are supposed to be, and further proves that auteur-driven films often produce the best results. Where David Lynch was able to walk, Villeneuve was able to run. A massive, intelligent film. We desperately need more of them.
