Geordie Gray The Australian 10/13/2023
This true story is deeply sad and often terribly funny. It’s a thrill seeing a young Cumberbatch and Hardy. Go to Full Review

Ben N @Bneffer Jan 19 I don't understand why this was a full length feature. it seems like a short or 75min indie. That said, great characterizations and acting, I just didn't share the vision, or have the narrative conveyed effectively to me. The start of the film has a compelling story, but that fades to the background of the development of a personal relationship, but nothing happens and I struggled to connect, until I read more later independently on a web search.

See more Keith B B @Okbullard Dec 30 Wow, Tom Hardy, what an exceptional performance as he stole every scene. I've always admired his acting skills since Inception. It was very compelling but also intense and sad. Check it out, you won't regret it. See more Jacqueline D Jul 25 A beautiful master class in character creation. Tom Hardy is extraordinary as Stuart. Cumberbatch is very good but frankly is acted off the screen. It's heartbreaking yet somehow affirming - everybody needs to see this film!! See more Libby A Apr 15 Absolutely amazing acting, such a sad yet endearing movie based on a true story...... I've watched this movie numerous times and still love it as much as I did when I first saw it! ❤️ See more Amy H 03/14/2024 Incredible performance by Tom Hardy. Clever and unpredictable, tragic and heartwarming. A true must see film. See more Read all reviews
