Featured review
A little slow paced for my taste, but I can't deny that Bill Nighy displayed a masterclass in subtle acting. Also I found it quite interesting that he took the role after sharing a taxi ride with the screenwriter Kazuo Ishiguro who pitched him right in the spot. That's pretty confident of Nighy to accept the role after such an encounter, but yeah, what a great decision on his part. Other standouts on the performance end of things include Aimee Lou Wood and Alex Sharp. They have a bright future ahead of them and I can't wait to see what they choose next. Also shout out to the musical score which helped bolster the emotions and kept me awake.
