Another recommendation from Marcus. I never would have seen this film, but I’m glad I did it was a very emotional story with some great characters played by some great actors. Everyone did such a good job and gave incredible performances, Brie Larson, the guy that played her boyfriend (John Gallagher Jr) , Marcus (Lakeith Stanfield ( I should have known that one)) Kaitlin Dever, Rami Malek and Rosa Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz). All did great, especially John Gallagher and Brie Larson who have very emotional performances, Brie Larson in particular who I haven’t always liked but now I really respect her as an actress after this. Her characters relationship with Jayden was so well done, such a well written film.
Lakeith Stanfield's break out role, he was also so good in this, all of them were, it was just a very solid film that made me sad.
8.4/10
