This movie had me crying, smiling, laughing, and feeling really good. I feel like this is a film for humanity. People are just people at the end of the day. I love the hope that this movie had me feeling. I'm not sure that I'd have picked this one to see in theaters, but was just aghast at how beautiful the film is. I know nothing of awards and when those decisions are made. I'd be absolutely shocked if this film does not the board. The characters come off as genuine and are utterly love able. I was very surprised to learn more about the cast at the end of the film and it had me crying all the more. Happy tears. I enjoyed that the characters were raw in their performances and I just cannot say it enough. This movie is big and feels so important. Hope feels nice.
I've never left a theater before, but this movie was actually THAT bad. First of all, it should not be PG-13 as it crosses that line many times. Aside from that and my biggest gripe is that it just plain sucks. Nothing was interesting about the characters. Nobody (and I mean not one) laughed at it. It was entirely unfunny and a waste of time. The characters weren't likable, the plot was messy (at best), there really seemed to be no point to the story at all. I typically will watch any movie that rates at a 6 or above. I never leave negative reviews, but honestly... this one is just hot garbage in every way.
As a cycle-breaker, I can tell you that I get it. It's very difficult to go against the grain in my own life, I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for them. This docuseries detailed their lovely beginning and a lot of bell between. I don't follow the royals, I've never really cared much at all. I remember when Diana died and what a tragedy it was for all. Meghan really is a wonderful person and a powerful activist, I'm glad to see her now living her life unbridled by an archaic institution. I quite enjoyed seeing her husband's loving support. Not sure why it's rated so low except that the internet is full of trolls and people with their minds made up from snap judgements. Watch for yourself and see that it's really just a story of a couple struggling with familial expectations, smear campaigns, racism, and in the end, happiness and room to breathe.
