I laughed, I cried. Fantastic film about a fantastic bloke. I was aware of John's not mad from years ago and saw the original docs. You end up feeling like you could bump into him in the street and it'd be like bumping in to your mate, where you know him so well. I had to smile at the casting, I always feel like these biopic sort of films always cast better looking people into the roles. I'd be chuffed if I was him

I kinda thought afterwards that they could have made more of his efforts to educate people, leading to his MBE.
I know they were setting the scene and showing the troubles he constantly had, and I just wish they had more strongly emphasised, the positive impact he has had on others.
One of the movies of the year for me.
After all the 'outrage' due to BBC / Bafta watched this now it's out on Netflix, film was good and heavy at points, can see why it won the awards it has so far, one of those films that is worth a watch even if you don't usually go for the 'based on a true story'
I was most surprised by Robert Aramayo and seeing him in this compared to how he is in RoP just goes to show how bad the writing / direction is, even 20 years later still can't shake Moaning Myrtle when Shirley Henderson appears on screen.
