I had read Emma O'Donahue's book and had been hugely moved by it... But, and perhaps because I often read FAR TOO QUICKLY...
The movie moved me almost beyond words. (At one point, I actually wanted to STOP watching I was SO UPSET...) And of course having read the book, I KNEW!!!
I can't recommend it to EVERYONE, since the subject matter has a darkness that even for me, (at least initially...) caused me SERIOUS EMOTIONAL UPSET. (FLOODS OF TEARS!!!) The REPAY, if you can keep watching, is a story of SUCH LOVE AND BEAUTY AND REDEMPTION that I'm GLAD I put myself through watching it!!!
It is one of the most soulful, human and BEAUTIFUL films I have EVER seen. (Writing, direction, ACTING, script and design are FLAWLESS!!!)
TODAY, I re-read the book... (I say honestly, I'm NOT SURE I'll ever watch the FILM again...)
But I'm glad I watched it!
