Really amazing film. Deeply emotional, I cried a lot. Very educational and an important film to watch.  With everything that’s happened recently at the BAFTAs, it’s really shown what an important film this is. People clearly need to get educated and it really makes this film that much more depressing. What happened could have easily replaced the opening scene of this film and it just makes me feel so bad for him and the hate he has received due to his condition this week. I hope this film helps more people understand the struggles he has had to endure. I feel like it was written and structured really well, one of the better biopics I’ve seen. The ending where he finds his purpose is truly heartwarming. I feel like the film has you a little on edge, you never know what he’s about to do. If he’s gonna call someone a cunt or smack them in the face. It really helps you understand the stress that he must constantly be under.  I loved this! 8.7/10
