Featured review
A lot of potential in this movie was realised, but unfortunately the middle of the movie was cringe worthy and disappointing.
The first part of the movie took time to build out the characters of Morgan and his mum and Dean, this helped make them believable. Morgan's relationship with mum holds this movie together.
Unfortunately the relationship between Morgan and his female friend is not believable, the script writers seem to want to show that it's ok to treat disabled people just like everyone else, but the friend's negativity goes to far and I couldn't believe in their friendship.
Sadly by the mid point of film, the drama was excessive and hard to watch. Dean and Morgan's relationship is superficial and the script missed the opportunity to show them adapting to life with a wheel chair by weaving the wonderful sub-plot conversations with doctor, bycicle shop, and landlord into their relationship (in the same way physiotherapist sub-plot). Instead Morgan and Dean's relationship superficial, toxic and full of secrets.
At the climax of the movie, the drama is suddenly forgotten, and returns to exploring the characters of Morgan, Dean and the Mum, who give great performances.
