My quick rating 7,5/10. What an exceptional flick. The acting was so spot on yet believable in how realistic people acted. I can safely say that this is easily in the top 10, maybe 5 movies of 2016. Typically I would write some in depth tear down of a quality flick such as this, but I will leave this up to you to just enjoy. Go see it, however that may be. (it doesn't help that I watch so many movies and tv shows, if I don't write the review immediately after, it hazes up in my tiny little brain).
