I wish I could define this movie as heart wrenchingly beautiful with moments of triumph and happiness then a wash of emotion to follow, but it was so much more, it wasn't a per say sad movie; for by no means could such a movie be sad since it was based off a true story. True stories can be defined as sad but are they actually emotionally crushing since it rings with truth and the truth while it can be impossible to swallow or even fathom that it happened, it isn't necessarily upsetting. It may be hauntingly bewitching but not sad.
Mr. Church could have been anything, but he was a cook. Now you may think oh a cook that isn't so bad, well this gentleman was a home cook to a young mother and her daughter, still not too bad of a card to be dealt. With hidden dark secrets and a wish of privacy from everyone, he is quite mysterious with a heart filled with so much love it's easily overlooked cause that's simply his character.
Most sappy movies, I cry, over the littlest of things, somehow I did not cry with this movie, teared up a few times but with a movie that had no lull parts to it and was very straight to the point, which did not deviate from the plot at all it was a masterpiece, that I wish was made into a book.
Adventurous and grand, soothing but a rollercoaster of emotions, a must watch! PS it is ok to cry from this movie!
