9/10
still thinking about it
29 February 2020
Desperately searching indie sites to find something to watch. Idie Wire had Emayatzy Corinealdi's performance as one of the best in the decade and I had not seen the film so I watched it. Her performance is perfect, can't wait to see her other stuff. I loved this movie because it is a true love story. As the years pass while she waits for her husband to get out of jail she grows in the best of ways. She sees her part in how she got into the situation. The repeated scenes where she imagines being in bed with or walking hand and hand with her incarcerated husband really struck home. Not because I have had an incarcerated love but because sometimes intense love continues even when it is over. This movie touched my heart. I have not seen another movie that nailed that feeling inside that I have about my past great love. It must be a hard thing to do in a movie since I have not seen any other film maker get it right until now.
