A good movie

Of course, I knew that this movie was not really famous but I didn’t expect it to be so obscure. Anyway, before becoming worldwide known with James Bond, Daniel Craig was not really what you could call an action star. In fact, he was actually a really decent dramatic actor and, in this movie, Craig clearly displayed his talent. A part from that, this movie was also an interesting reflection on death and loss. Indeed, not so long before I watched this flick, my mother-in-law lost her husdband which was and still is a tragedy even after all these years and, with this movie, it was just really interesting and quite frankly fascinating to see a woman going through a widely different mourning process than my mother-in-law was. On one hand, I was quite eager to show this movie to my wife, to show her that there is no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ way to deal with the death of someone you loved but, on the other hand, I’m afraid she wouldn’t be open to a story like this one. Anyway, to conclude, even though it wasn’t really groundbreaking, I thought it was a solid drama and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you want to see Daniel Craig before he became Mr Bond.
