[Katie-Ellen]

Based on a true story, the question is, what makes life worth living?

 

[Amber]

It looks like a good movie.

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Cracking story. Horror. A beautiful boy, agile as a gazelle, very much physical, now physically destroyed. A wife with nerves of steel. Reclamation of joy. All the really 'big' stuff.

 

[Tim James]

The director, Andy Serkis, isn't he the one who did the motion acting for Smeegal/Gollum in LOTR and also for King Kong in the most recent of the the films? I didn't know he'd started directing now.

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Yes. He seems to do all sorts now.
