Well that was really beautiful. I saw the 2015 movie once, back when it came out, so I knew some of the beats, but didn’t remember everything. And even with the things I remembered it didn’t matter. This is just so gorgeous and the characters are all so real. So many ups and downs and “how’s this going to work out”s. I really liked this. This was my first Hardy, but won’t be my last.
