Was gonna give this film 3 and a half stars but then Mark Rylance made me cry so here we are I guess.

Mark Rylance really is one of the most incredible actors around and this film heavily relied on his amazing ability and charm as an actor, overall a decent and heartfelt film based off an incredible true story - thoroughly enjoyable
