Mar 19: Marvellous (2014) dir. Julian Farino
Marvellous tells the story of Neil Baldwin.
He is a bit of a legend and well known to those who are familiar with Keele University.
This film is one that I first watched back in 2015 or so - I'd missed the premiere on BBC2 in 2014.It's a heart-warming film that never fails to make me cry. The first time is usually when he leaves home and then moves in a few doors down the road from his mum, who fights tirelessly for him.
The film is an immersive and emotional experience.
Coincidentally, Neil Baldwin was back in the news quite recently, as the film has now been made into a play.
And here's Neil Baldwin's speech following the film's BAFTA success:
What's a film that makes you cry?
