Not usually the sort of film I might watch but there was something about it that it would be good. And it was almost as soon it started that I knew what was going to happen, and it did but there are up and downs, sad and happy moments but rather splendid. I was surprised that the director, Justin Chon, was outstanding, even if his water scenes are rather arty, he was so good most of the time and rather good with the actors, especially with the young girl, Sydney Kowalske, was wonderful. He also did the writing which is fine and of course was the star and also great. Also very much liked Alicia Vikander and thought she was rather impressive. I noticed later that she was married to Michael Fassbender and she had been the star quite amazing in Ex-Machina (2014) by Alex Garland.
