This scene was so beautiful. The unspoken kindness of Norman towards Stephen contrasted so well against how Stephen had been treated by some other characters in the film.

Absolutely love Toby Jones' work. Looking forward to this as a cinephile and as film worker. Cheers Searchlight!

After I saw this achingly beautiful film, I never looked at that beam of light the same way again!

I think this was a underrated piece of art such a good film

Wonderful example of film-making at its finest. Saw it yesterday, and highly recommend it.

Hope it'll be enough to win an Oscar.
