Oh you must see it. It's just ... it's one of my favourite movies ever.
I guess, for me, it was like two threads of my life coming together - my "pflag" persona and my past as a Union rep. (I was the only woman ever elected to the National Executive of my union.)
So it hits so many touch points for me.
But even without that it's just wonderful. It's a real ensemble cast effort. The younger cast members are mainly unknowns, but aside from Andrew, it's got Bill Nighy and Dominic West and Imogen Staunton. Even Russell Tovey pops up at one point. (He's in pretty much everything worth seeing at one point or another in the last few years - from Torchwood to Pride and everything in between.)
I always wind up with tears - of happiness, even delight - running down my face at the end.
