Tani BradyNo matter how many times I watch this perfect film, I'm as emotional as the first time. The acting, characters, cinematography and the music are simply stunning. I love it so much, the layering of the love stories is so well done you become fully invested. His mum mourning his papa, Alfredo's love of the cinema & little Toto, Toto falling in love. I imagine if you go to a small town in Sicily you'll find people just like this. If I meet anyone who hates this film, then I know to avoid them.

Tani BradyThe beginning wasn't great, I found the acting a little stilted and the dialogue was so unnatural, giving everyone a line, everyone speaking in clever little one liners, like watching a game of ping-pong. But, like him or hate him, once TC made his entrance, and it was a great one, the film kicked in and the contrast of acting made it clear that the star had arrived. I know a lot of people find TC detestable but the guy can carry a film and he is so believable in his role. It is long film, but I was never, not even for a second, bored. The cinematography is amazing, his stunts are watch behind your hand stunning, the scenery, the entire film was so enjoyable. I loved Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames (I wonder what he's up to...maybe Part 2 will tell us) both were super entertaining. The leading women particularly Hatley Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson and Vanessa Kirby played their parts fantastically. I don't usually go to action films but I'm so glad I did as I loved it. Tom Cruise is a star for a reason, he gives himself entirely and the audience is entertained the minute he arrives on screen.

Tani BradyI didn't know anything about the story of Andrew or gorgeous lil Zachary until I saw this documentary. I had read a review saying it was the best documentary ever. I agree 1000% it is so damn good, i barely moved whilst watching it. Parts of this documentary had me crying so uncontrollably, my heart breaking for the wonderful parents and friends, the rest of it had be screaming at the outlandish idiotic decisions made by the judges involved. The female judge, in particular, should be disbarred, fired, publicly ridiculed, everything possible to make sure she never EVER EVER can pass sentence on anyone else. This story is beyond traumatic and the legal system is 100% culpable for the traumatic outcome. I feel so angry and helpless watching this. The documentary filmmaker Kurt has done an absolutely wonderful and emotional tribute to his best friend and I thank him for bringing this story to the public.

Tani BradyStumbled on this beautiful film, knowing v little about it. Mesmerised by the acting, storyline & composition of scenes. It is so well done u almost feel u r watching real lives. Corruption, love, murder & a brilliant plot twist. It seamlessly takes u back & forth from past to present ...telling the story w just enough clues to keep u guessing til the end. A perfect film, w such convincing actors... I was thinking about them for days afterwards.

Tani BradyBeautiful cinematography, acting, story - all of it just a perfect film for me. I detest being spoon fed which emotion I shld fee during a film, which modern directors seem hellbent on doing... filming things which you can barely see etc. This film is a slice of life people can't imagine, yet so many living off the grid. I know for weeks to come I will wonder if Tom is ok, where her dad is now;such is the power of the acting. I was in the right mood to watch it, which is vital.

Tani BradyDamn it's so good. The acting, production, directing, writing etc... all exemplary. These actors convince you they r not playing these roles but living the life of the character they play. So much so that I find myself wondering if Steve will ever get full use of his legs, or did Kate get the promotion etc etc. They r not acting for the camera. The emotions, the little things that build a character to be believable. So so good. I wish it was produced every year!
