Andy Serkis directed the English movie Breathe (I) (2017). The film stars Andrew Garfield as Robin Cavendish and Claire Foy as his wife Diana Cavendish.
The movie begins with Robin falling in love with Diana and she with him. He's intelligent, handsome, and personable. She's intelligent, beautiful, and personable. It's the perfect match.
However, within months (five minutes of film), tragedy strikes. Robin contracts polio, and he becomes paralyzed from the neck down. The movie follows their story--that's the plot.
Both actors are excellent, and the film becomes more powerful because we know that it really happened.
Of course, we don't know whether the reenactments capture the exact truth of what happened. However, I hope they did, because the truth is incredible.
This movie has a so-so IMDb rating of 7.2. I thought it was much better than that, and rated it 9.
