This film would not normally be the kind I would choose to see. However, it is the only movie to make me cry as an adult. This is despite the fact that the subject matter seems far less important than, say, "Schindler's List". Perhaps though it is as important because it operates at a human level that is easier for most of us to relate to. Although I was familiar with C. S. Lewis, I had not previously known enough about him to be aware of his love for Joy Gresham and the outcome of their relationship. That perhaps made it all the more powerful. Perfect acting and a story that is simple, yet so moving. Less is most certainly more.
