  I liked this film because it was entertaining,and I learned something. Many tales are told on screen with similar themes, but this one took me to a place I didn't expect. I am not the savvy movie goer that typically writes reviews on IMDb. I am a patron of the arts, and if a story sticks with me, then I have high praise for the film. My criteria for rating the film so high is this: Is it worth the price of admission? Is it memorable? Does the look, continuity, and score of the film add or detract from my enjoyment? Is it inspiring? Did I see something new? This film did not disappoint on any level.It gave me a glimpse into another culture and enabled my mind to see things from an actor's point of view.

  Sir Michael Gifford (Brian Cox) is a celebrated stage actor suffering from a rare form of Parkinson's. His overprotective daughter Sophia (Emilia Fox) struggles to find a caregiver for her grumpy father. Young Hungarian actress Dorottya (Coco König) arrives hoping to start her job as his carer. The plot is relatively thin. The characters are simply drawn. Brian Cox laps it all up. Coco König has a simple beauty although her flat accent makes her acting within the acting less than compelling. I am thankful that they didn't force a romance. This is lovely and enjoyable. It may not be ground shaking but it is perfectly fine.

• This one deserves the full ten stars. A great film on life and humanities.
