One word: Lush. The visual scope of this film is epic and incredibly lush. The colours are vibrant and rich and then muted and warm. The acting is effortless and the viewer forgets that they are anything other than Roy's hospital mate in the next cot over, eavesdropping in on the stories he tells Alexandria.
I loved every frame of this film and fell instantly in love with Catinca Untaru as Alexandria. How could I not? She is completely and utterly the essence of adorable. And she reminded me so much of my niece Nicole. When I used to live with Nicole and her little sister Ashlee, Nicole was Catinca's age and was also missing her front teeth. The character of Alexandria had the sass, spunk, and sweetness that Nicole had; watching this movie was like watching Nicole as a child. Perhaps that's what drew me so strongly into each moment. It is a perfect film that I watch again and again. Please follow suit. You will not be disappointed.
Weaverman was. Disappointed, I mean. I sent him the movie and he hated it.
