This is a heartbreaking story that's told with sensitivity.
A regular guy gets an infection that leaves him disfigured and significantly disabled. This movie tells the story of how he and his family make it through the ordeal. It's a story about how the limits of love and dedications are tested, it's also a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit. Fight or flight, I suppose, is a real thing. Many, many people would (and do) throw in the towel when faced with the unspeakable horror that Tom Ray (magnificently portrayed by Tom Riley) must confront.
I wasn't expecting the uplifting, optimistic conclusion that Bill Clark leads us too, but after so much grimness, I must admit it was a welcome relief, even if it's a surprise and probably unrealistic.
This is a great little movie.
