KURSK (2018)

What a heartbreaking movie !!! One of the most emotionally powerful movies I've seen in years. So much sadness and poetry . This movie is obviously based on one of the greatest  naval tragedies of all time. The acting is really fantastic : Matthias Schoenaerts as the captain of the KURSK brought a lot of humanity and dignity to his character . He's not only a brave and compassionate sailor but also a loving father + husband . Léa Seydoux was also astonishing as his distraught wife . Her performance moved me to tears. She represents all of the families who were kept in the dark by the russian authorities during that terrible ordeal . Colin Firth was also very good as the naval commander James Russell (who is a real person) but slightly underused . Thomas Vintenberg did a fantastic directing job and Alexandre Desplat's score is achingly beautiful. It's a movie that truly stays with you .Don't forget to grab some tissues people   8.5/10
