    Very sweet
    A very sweet film, one with its heart truly in the right place.

    I had a fine time watching 'Amy'. There's a few very touching moments, alongside a few shocking parts too; one particularly surprised the hell out of me, the most a Disney film has so far in fact. Those come amongst the storyline which entails blind and deaf children, as well as a bit of women's empowerment in there too. They blend it together nicely.

    Jenny Agutter is excellent in the titular role, I felt connected to her story whilst also getting the required sense care and charm that her character is intended to have. Otto Rechenberg, one of many deaf/blind people cast, is very good. All the main ones onscreen do a noteworthy job, in fairness.

    Enjoyable and hearty. Watch it.
