Toby Jones is terrific as Neil Baldwin..i knew nothing about him before watching but what a character and what a glorious life he`s had..
some of the best parts were the scenes between Toby and Neil they would have been quite sad if it wasn't for Neils whole outlook on life
Nee ta ma duh tyen-shia suo-yo duh run doh gai si
i cried like a baby when his mum died. Incredible drama.
share"She worried about my weight and she tried to give me salad, but she meant well."
The mirror... it's broken.
Yes, I know. I like it that way. Makes me look the way I feel.
Quite simply: A "Marvellous" piece of Television.....Toby Jones was simply brilliant.
I have watched it twice now....a most moving piece of real-life drama. I know I will watch it again & again....And be equally moved made humble
And there are few offerings from "BIG" studios that I credit with that honour: i.e. My Attention.
Loved the moments between Toby & Neil....The man is genuinely, a superhero in my eyes...I'm sure that inspired Jones to absolutely portray him as well as he did.
Full marks too, the the "real-life" personalities, Lou Macari etc....Even Gary Lineker looked as if he was actually paying homage!
They all did themselves credit in coming across as decent human beings.
This is television at its best: It can be done...and I'm proud to say, when given the resources & the opportunities: British TV does a damn good job.
Brilliant movie.
Loved Neil and his all is good, all is possible attitude.
in the beginning the trailer in the lawn looked like a prop, at the description on this i found he was credited as fourth actor which don't make sense, i also read there that this was a humorous movie but the constant distressed look in the mother made it impossible for me to keep watching. its strange how natural toby jones sound in both this and infamous even though using two entirely different voices, i preferred that 2006 movie over the more famous one, aside from the violence that version was really a pleasant movie to watch and sandra bullock had a great role, its strange how there was two versions of that same story shot around the same time, at least i haven't heard any reason why that happened.
kicking a pebble head hanging,
over petty things i was complaining,
under the burned out fireworks,
setting me right you came along,
b.s once the turn of you i saw,
reminded whats important to me,
head hanging low hit by things,
that realised shouldnt get to me,
whats important clearly showed,
as got back to your home.
A film that truly lives up to its name.
Wonderful performance by Toby Jones and an uplifting, magnificent movie.
