I was just looking to see if has been released yet. If I recall
correctly at TIFF Patricia, and Sir. Ben mentioned that the movie had
been picked up.
All I can say is that you have to see this movie. The dialogue, the
banter and the chemistry is truly incredible. It has its serious
moments but it also has moments that will have you laughing
hysterically.
I am really glad I picked this movie, and I can tell you it was
deserving of being the runner up for fan favourite. After the Imitation
Game and that is supposed to be an Oscar Shoe in.
