Pleasant movie, I enjoyed the Q & A
Amazing
One of the best movies ever
The Q & A after the movie was great. We got to hear more of the back story.
Touching story, made better by meeting the people whose story it was.
Totally enjoyed the experience.
Loved this film , made so special as based on the true story . So emotive and well acted . Gave a great insight into the challenges of living with MS , but was also a very hopeful and inspiring story .Thanks ????
Skilled performances by all actors. The love stories and drama warmed my heart. Beautiful showcase of the imagery of the Northern Rivers region. It made me very proud to be an Australian. The icing on the cake was meeting some of the cast in the setting and surroundings of the Hayden Orpheum which is such an iconic cinema. So pleased this movie has brought awareness to the plight of those suffering from MS and their brave families and carers.
The highlight was meeting the couple that inspired and wrote the screenplay. The story was beautiful and well told and the acting, good. The only negative about the experience was having a group talk throughout the entire movie, even after being asked not to, which meant missing dialogue.
A beautifully made film with a touching story. The Q&A was very interesting, hearing the story of the creators and the making of the film.
It was wonderful. What a great experience and opportunity to also meet with the real protagonists of the story. Very moving and emotional. It made us laugh and cry and it left us with an immense sense of hope and beauty of humankind. Thank you! Silvia
Beautiful heart felt romantic drama . It was so uplifting.. lovely movie with a special message.
Beautiful film. I was expecting to be crying the whole way through, but instead it was such a heartwarming story that I found myself smiling and feeling... so inspired the whole way through. Highly recommend everyone see this as a story of inspiration for what we can do, even when life deals us some difficult situations.
Beautiful movie - a story of love, hope, understanding, kindness and compassion that tugged at the heartstrings. Wonderful to see the Q&A afterwards with the actors as well as John and Claire getting the message out there to bring more awareness to MS.
This experience was wonderful! Thank you!!
Very well organised, lovely movie!
Based on true syory about MS the movie added a romantic touch mixed with raw emotiions
very moving and heartfelt movie. Q & A session was very enjoyable and highlighted the importance of awareness about MS.
Beautiful film, it is a very inspiring story, that will certainly pull on your heart strings.
A moving story filmed in stunning locations with fab acting
A pleasant movie that delivered a strong message on MS. Could also have been a promotional tourism film with the wonderful scenery that was captured. The Q and A session was great in highlighting that there are many forms of MS and that living with it is hard for everyone affected.
Lovely film and great to hear from John and Claire afterwards
A beautifully depicted film showing that love, kindness & understanding are keys to supporting the unpredictable journey of a MS diagnosis. This heartwarming film is so Australian in its approach with great actors, scenery & music. Loved it all!
Beautiful film. The story was heartbreaking, beautiful and so incredibly real. Shining a light on a terrible disease that is not so well known to the average person.
The cinematography in this film was absolutely breathtaking along with the amazing scenery and great acting.
It was lovely to hear John and Claire speak after the film and I wish them both the best of luck with this film.
