Fitting the standard template of the Hollywood yearly inspirational biopic in a number of scenes, the film’s choice of completely defying notions in most others, scenes that would have otherwise been accompanied by self-indulgent dialogue, a rousing score, or both, is what brings me to highlight the deeply intimate nature of the film in the first place....
