“The State of Us”: A Yorkshire Film with Heart (and a Sunroof!)
- A surprising sunroof in Yorkshire?
- Sweet performances that lift a familiar tale.
- Our take on this charming tearjerker.
You know how we love finding those hidden gems, and “The State of Us” just landed on our radar! We just watched this new film, and it takes us straight into the heart of Yorkshire.
Now, let’s talk about the weather there. Not exactly sunbathing paradise, right? So, a sunroof isn’t usually top of the list for car buyers in that part of England. But young Frankie, played by the fantastic Samuel Bottomley, drives a tired old hatchback… with a sunroof!
A bit odd. An unexpected touch. That’s one of a few little quirks you’ll find in this movie. Yes, sometimes it feels a little “hokey,” a tad improbable.
But here’s the thing: it’s winningly sweet-natured. The overall vibe of the film? It just feels good. There’s a certain honest, understated visual style that makes the Yorkshire setting feel so real, yet still full of hope.
And the performances! Oh my goodness. The two main actors are truly spirited. They really bring the story to life, making what could be a familiar tearjerker feel fresh and genuine.
They truly lift the whole film. You can feel their connection. Their portrayal makes you care deeply about their journey.
So, get ready for some emotions. This movie might just make you shed a tear or two. But trust us, it’s the kind of cry that feels good, a story that truly moves you.
Our Take
We loved “The State of Us” for its honest charm and heartwarming feel. It might have a few improbable moments, like that unexpected sunroof, but its genuine spirit shines through. The performances are absolutely captivating, making this familiar story feel new again. Go watch it. You’ll leave feeling uplifted, maybe a little misty-eyed, but definitely glad you did.
