I feel about this film much like I felt about "Spotlight". It's a lovely film with tremendous acting. I was moved by it and drawn along by the story. It was directed and paced very well. But I'm just not sure this should be an Oscar nominee. Maybe I'm spoiled by independent film, but I would rather see a film attempt to be different and great and fall short than play everything safely. Safe is good and fine and lovely, but Best Film? Not quite, at least not for me. 4/5
