As somebody who has suffered a stroke this year (2022) from a bleed on the brain, never ill & healthy as a bull, the fight to regain thought process & use of arm is far bigger than any other battle in my life. This film simply lays out the challenges faced after the bell has gone. Superb, yet again, from Considine, a man who excels in front & behind the camera. A benchmark film, never afraid to delve into the simplest of struggles without the Hollywood urge to glorify or sex it up. As always in life the simplest solutions are usually the best.
For me obviously a very emotional experience as I am fighting my own way back. I cannot hold a pen, use a PC mouse & simple tasks take ages & a severe cause of frustration.
On the plus side I am lucky enough to have the NHS & it's heroic staff, who excel despite the Government of the day, not because of it.
