The incredible story of how Rich Jenkins, a young man from a poor family in Port Talbot became a multi award winning Hollywood star. It's fair to say this is my kind of film, but knowing Burton's story pretty well, it was interesting to see how they decided to translate it onto the big screen. Without sounding sentimental, it's a lovely, heartwarming movie, it's uplifting and emotional, a young Burton seemed to have everything against him, his troubled father, poverty, even the country itself, but somehow he overcome the odds. It is beautifully made, it looks terrific, the sets and clothes look terrific, they did their best with the CGI. Toby Jones and Lesley Manville do what they do best, they deliver, I know Harry Lawtey well from the wonderful BBC series Industry, I thought he did a very fine job. The first cinema film I've seen for some time that's made me want to order the blu ray. 8/10.
