The Grand Seduction is a charming movie that exceeded my expectations. It brought attention to the plight of those living in the wreckage of the broken fishing industry without becoming a depressing enviro-movie.
This character-driven film, lead by the brilliant Brendon Gleason, had class, and heart, and humour that left me doubled over in laughter. Gordon Pinsent absolutely steals the show with his dead-pan deliveries and Taylor Kitsch brings a touch of 'Hollywood smoothness' to his role of a city-slicker doctor.
No special effects, green-screen gimmicks or explosions (all of which I love!) - and yet, more satisfying than any film I've seen this year.
Highly recommend!
