This is a beautiful film with a lovely story that I fell in love with the first time I watched it. It's spectacular and very well done. I would be surprised if one were to watch it and not shed a tear. The message and story is so lovely and the journey Billy goes on is similar to one that I'm sure many people have shared. This is one of the only films that has ever given me butterflies in my stomach both during and after watching it, it's incredible, and I was able to connect with Billy's character.
