This is my first movie review ever. I had to post. This movie is so packed with such emotion and real human connection it immediately roped me in. I didn't need more or less. I connected as a parent, as a daughter, as a friend, as a human. It addressed our obsession with work but quickly went to what really matters in life and how quickly it could be taken away from us. Of course I cried but it was a cry of purification and of gratitude. I love the ending where he witnesses other people taking for granted and he desires most for his life.
The actors are amazing and so talented! Especially the lead actor Oyelowo. I look forward to watching his other work. He definitely has skills.
