Admirable film.
A different way of telling a story
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
