This will break your heart from the first scene onwards but stick with it and I promise that it will also:
1. Inspire you
2. Make you look at all sorts of things through another light, and most importantly
3. Leave you as a better person
As a single father who has brought up two boys from the ages of seven and two, countless aspects of this film resonated with my own experiences, despite never having been anywhere close to the situation that transpires (except in my most troubled times and imagination). My sons are now twenty and seventeen and have become their own wonderful selves desoite my fumbling efforts along the way, but I truly wish I had seen this at the start of my own journey.
Brilliant writing, direction and most of all career defining performances, in particular from James Norton, but also barely credible from such a young actor as Daniel Lamont, as well as all the supporting cast.
If I could, I would have given this 20+ stars... choose your time to watch it, but never has 'must watch' more applied.
