Finally watched it

Hubby watched it when it came out and said I needed to. I kept putting it off because I knew I'd be a wreck, so today I finally sat down and watched it. Sobbed through the entire film.

Matt Bomer as brilliant. Absolutely phenomenal. Was pleasantly surprised by Taylor Kitsch. Was the first thing I'd seen him in and thought he did well. Mark Ruffalo though...WOW. Talk about amazing. The scenes he shares with his brother were the most powerful - especially the one where he demanded his brother say they were the same. How on earth did he not win every possible award for this film? I'm thrilled Bomer did, but Ruffalo was the heart and soul. I've always been a fan, but this was by far his best performance.

Was a powerful movie. I want to watch again but I tear up merely thinking about it.

Everyone did such a great job! So happy Matt Bomer won the Critics Choice and GG. He should've won ALL the awards in supporting category. And yes Mark Ruffalo is brilliant!
