About
You’ll likely enjoy this heartfelt true-story drama if you want an uplifting, love-driven look at overcoming adversity and advocating for people with disabilities; Not for you if you prefer action-style escapes or if you dislike stories that turn heavy, as with The Aeronauts or Ride Like a Girl.
Pros: inspiring true story; strong lead performances; compassionate tone | Cons: hard to watch at times; character depth feels thin; some moments feel over-idealized
