Beautiful film about loneliness and acceptance
8 May 2019 | by barbicandev – See all my reviews

This movie is wonderful. I saw it in London, Dublin, Glasgow and then London again, that's how good it is. I've been a fan of John Butler's work for some time, but this film is his best yet. Matt Bomer is magnificent as Sean, a man who is broken by grief and loneliness, and Alejandro Patino is perfectly cast as the migrant worker who is the catalyst for Sean's recovery. The film has plenty of laugh out loud moments and also scenes that will break your heart. All the cast are wonderful and Alejandro and particularly Matt give performances that are sublime. Go see it, you'll be glad you did!
