Sylvia

Sylvia was shown in Attleboro, MA. I viewed it in the company of friends.

The lessons are legion, but I carry with me one major take-away: The love we are fortunate enough to experience in this brief life is entirely durable as long as we breath -- and this can be both a blessing and a haunting, often simultaneously.

The unfolding is startling; the story is told going forward but later one is forced to look back over all that preceded the ending for full understanding. Masterful.

The material could have been handled in a sugary manner. It was anything but saccharine.The expertise of all involved meant I was taken completely by surprise at the conclusion and was left completely gobsmacked emotionally.

I immediately thought, as a avid film viewer, this one is Oscar-worthy.

I literally had to duck down in my seat during the screening because I was crying so hard. It's touching. One of the most emotionally and visually evocative films I have ever seen. I'm blessed to have been able to attend with friends who were only mildly embarassed by my caterwalling.

Bring tissues and enjoy the ride.

Without giving away too much, this film tells a beautiful story about love, loss and the power of community. From flawless performances, to the beautiful crafting of the production itself - this is a film that leaves takes you on a powerful journey, makes you cry and leaves you with a sense of hope. It's an impressive tale that has wowed every audience I've seen it screened at.

I hope, a significant film for a large public. Because it is more than adaptation of a moving real case . It is remind of basic, fundamental truths , defining each of us. A great film, admirable crafted, powerful in each detail , profound useful exploration of connections, family, tough decisions and a letter giving fair answer to an owner giving new start to the life of Sylvia.

Sylvia packs a punch. The acting was incredible, the storyline is so powerful it takes you on a complete emotional rollercoaster. I laughed, I cried and then I cried some more. The cinematograpraphy and grade are beautiful. A must watch!
