The Silent Child

How often do you sit down and watch something, agree it's fundamentally incredible say it deserves to win an Oscar and it never does. Fortunately for this superb presentation justice has been served. The film itself is sensitive, thought provoking, and genuinely gives you a reasoned insight into what life must be like for Libby, the frustrations and struggles, but also the truth that the human spirit seems able to overcome anything. A heart breaking watch for most of us, but such an important message shared. Young Maisie Sly is absolutely incredible, how proud must her loved ones be of her. Wonderful.
