This was a really good movie. I was sad that I couldn't have supported this film while it was in the theaters. I got this via digital copy from iTunes when quarantine started.
The movie presents a compelling storyline, paired with excellent acting. You got a killer combo. The movie was almost 2.5 hours long and I didn't even notice. It went by so quick because I was completely into the story.
If you're looking for a great movie from 2019, give this a try.
