Review of The Choice (2016) by James G — 07 Feb 2016

"The Choice" is a special movie, very much worth seeing. It appears that this film bored the critics... that's a shame. I can see how it might bore a person, if you are comparing this film to other contemporary movies.

But, judging this film for what it is, I would call it: "down-to-earth, beautiful, and heart-warming". The movie (story) centers around daily, and long-term choices we all make. Perhaps the topic of "choices" itself is boring, while in reality, it is the most valuable and powerful ability that we, as humans, possess.

The film does take extra time to display the subtleties of emotion, but is well worth the care taken. If you're in a hurry, see this movie when you are not, and you will be rewarded. This is not a "chick flick", it's a "people flick".

The film industry should make more movies like this. Go see it.
