April 12, 20241 yr Finally got round to watching this and goodness me I sobbed!! A brilliant film, incredible acting!
April 12, 20241 yr I did a second watch the other week and was intrigued to see if it would still have the same impact. Elements didn't hit me as much (the ones that were shocks in the first viewing), but still a beautiful all round film
June 17, 20241 yr Author Getting a Criterion Collection release! "Criterion Collection is an American home-video distribution company that focuses on licensing, restoring and distributing "important classic and contemporary films"." They don't just release anything on there and it's usually to help preserve the movies iirc!
June 17, 20241 yr I watched this back in March and it made me cry my eyes out towards the end :cry: It was just very heavy and a lot of it hit home - similar struggles about acceptance during my youth, losing a parent last year. It was maybe a bit too much for me at that point (I didn't realise what I was letting myself in for with this film, honestly). That's not to say I didn't enjoy the film, I really did. I'd like to watch it again, but not too imminently. Nice that it's getting a physical release!
June 17, 20241 yr Author It's out on DVD and Blu-Ray today, but not sure about the Criterion special release!
June 18, 20241 yr It's out on DVD and Blu-Ray today, but not sure about the Criterion special release! Is the Criterion release just Blu-Ray? I will buy this at some point, but as it is on Disney plus I only want something with extra's. I almost re-watched at the weekend (would have been my 3rd viewing)

I almost re-watched at the weekend (would have been my 3rd viewing)I believe so. I think very limited of them get 4K releases but it’s definitely Blu-Ray.

April 10Apr 10 Think I’m re-ready to watch this. It might be because my Facebook feed keeps reminding me it exists, but I also like the way it still makes me thinkI also need to read the book it’s based on
April 10Apr 10 I've watched this several times since buying the DVD and must watch it again.I did look to buying the book but a read of the online preview suggests it is very different from the movie.
