This is a fabulous read. I had read all the articles in the Guardian and the Independent about labelling something grief porn and I almost felt a visceral anger towards their comments. Of course we are meant to be upset, it's a film about grief. And when I was crying and watching it, I thought thank goodness someone shows that its okay to be consumed by grief.
Thank you! I think the film is also slightly more self conscious of its own ‘artifice’ than the reviews give it credit for. You will cry, but you’ll see the strings too
