CGiii Comment
Serious films are exactly like this - tough and a work of art.
Andrew Garfield demonstrates categorically why he is a shining light in his chosen profession.
This is all about forgiveness...astonishingly soul-searching.
Some may find it in their hearts to forgive...but, everyone who watches this film will not forget.
An exceptional piece of work.
