Yes, the story has a predictable ending. It doesn't take very long into the movie to have some idea of how it's going to end, but that's the point.
Why watch a movie that's pretty transparent about the ending? Because the characters are so well written, it's beautifully acted and before long you feel for the characters emotionally.
There were moments where I felt tense, my jaw clenched in anger because of how close to these characters I felt.
It was like I was drawn in to be a relative or a friend. I rode the knocks, felt the laughter and their sorry. They were perfectly relatable.
In a place where movies strive to grab your attention with explosions, or by trying to tick every box in a politically correct smorgasbord, this movie was stripped back to a couple of characters, their rapport and a story.
Truly moving. I'd happily see it again.
