Alright, I admit family dramas with long hidden secrets are my favourites, but this has to be one of the best.
I was utterly compelled by the story, I can't remember the last time I was so emotionally engrossed. I was with Paul every step of the way. I have to see it again because I was so caught up I only noticed peripherally that the music,
cinematography and design were all delivering the perfect cinematic
experience.
As for the performances, the actors just disappeared, I was watching Paul and Celia and Jax living their lives. I felt more voyeuristic than Jonathon, as if I was witnessing private moments. What a wonderful film.
