So delightful and charming - Run and Jump review by SoniaGee
This film is made mainly by Maxine Peake. She is absolutely natural in the part of a wife living with her husband , a stroke casualty.
Her children are so natural too. Totally charming. The story is credible and I was enraptured totally by the end of it.
Do see it.........you will not regret.
