Such a beautifully moving film
4 January 2017
This film tells the story of a high power advertising executive, who still could not come to terms with losing his daughter to illness two years ago. He lives his life like a zombie, not talking, not eating, and concentrates only on dominoes. Three of his friends and colleagues try to get him out of his zombie state by an unconventional method.

I honestly do not understand why people think "Collateral Beauty" is bad. I enjoyed it a lot and thought it was beautiful and moving. The story is beautifully crafted, as scenes towards the end of the film echo back to some parts of previous scenes. It is quite a touching thing to see who in the film really sees the collateral beauty in seemingly tragic chaos. Will Smith is great as usual, and actually the cast ensemble is great as well. The board room scene provides the emotional climax and makes me appreciate how lovely this film is. I enjoyed it.
