I think it has become quite clear in recent years that we are living in a golden age for entertainment. The best streaming services are consistently serving up classics (even if they are cracking down on password sharing) and this month it's Amazon Prime Video and not Netflix that has me making time to sit down and watch one of my favourites.
To be honest, after reading the excellent book by Miriam Toews I knew this was a must-watch, but just looking at the stacked cast would have been enough. Rooney Mara, Claire Foy, Judith Ivey, Jessie Buckley, Ben Whishaw and Oscar-winner Frances McDormand could carry most movies alone, but having them share the screen is a rare treat.
