This drama about a paralyzed polio victim fighting his way back to life with the help of his dedicated wife and friends is a moving film. Andrew Garfield delivers a good performance in the main role, proving that he really does need only his face and eyes to act. Claire Foy absolutely shines in her role as supportive and strong-willed wife. (Also: shout-out to my friend Ross Sambridge who has a minor speaking role in this!) The script tackled some heavy issues: the place of disabled people in society, and the topic of assisted suicide. However, I’m a bit disappointed to note that despite the good material, the film moved at an absolutely glacial pace and failed to develop much tension at all. Though the visuals were pleasing and suitable to entertain me for a bit – really good sets and costumes there! – I was a little bored by the half hour mark. 3/5
