Started off horrid with fellow audience talking. Had to shushed two separate couples. The movie was pleasant enough. Overall, I'll say it's generic feelgood fare. May have stronger resonance in certain territories due to their historical context. Acting generally good. Might be described as a decent Christmas film.
Was prepared to be bored by this but ended up engaged. How did they get the baby to perform so well? A particular scene set in a prison made me feel how condescending some individuals or groups may be when it comes to trying to do "good". The main characters are all in unenviable positions. Difficult issues are raised, but this film never strays away from its characters and the overall performances from everyone made this such a heartfelt watch with sprinkles of humor. Get your tissues ready.
