Thoughtful, nuanced and fun, Sanctuary subverts received ideas about disability in its very approach to filmmaking.

Christian O'Reilly's screenplay combines elements from the typical feelgood drama with harsher insights into the lives of the protagonists.

The movie, rather admirably isn't black and white about the issues it raises.

4/5
