In all honesty I thought the film was definitely worth a watch! I was literally at the edge of my seat, crying and shouting at the tv ?

I’m curious about both. It sounds like a marmite book and film, that’s not necessarily a bad thing ?

I didn’t like it but kept watching as I thought it’s got to get better soon, but no it didn’t. I couldn’t wait for it to finish. You could love it though as some people do. A marmite film as others have said

If anyone believes that a woman or man with two small children can trek through the roughest terrain kayak down rapids and somehow make it unscathed to a community for the blind then you failed at movies
