If you're looking for a lighthearted feel good movie, this is perfect. Sure the script and plot aren't out of this world, but the movie had me smiling and shedding a few tears too. Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding were amazing (as always) and the ending really touched my heart.
Deducted one star for historical accuracy, but then again the family's background was not the central focus of the film so the inaccuracy did not take away from the plot. Nonetheless, for such a renowned team of filmmakers it's weird to see such a slip-up happen.
Don't pay attention to the reviews bashing it for the inaccuracies and 'political intentions' of the film, it's a wonderful feel good movie that really touches you.
