With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people ready for a good cry and people who'll be looking things up afterwards. It's about loss, handled with care rather than melodrama. Sits nicely alongside Manhattan or Heavenly Creatures. Based on real events, so expect to go down a research rabbit hole afterwards.
- The mood
- Emotional (bring tissues).
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 42 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
When a four year old and other children in same neighborhood develop leukaemia, the parents suspect a nearby factory. Based on real events.
