Waitress

Over the years I have had a pleasure in seeing films that just get it right, Waitress is one of those. The story follows Jenna, a young waitress, who has just found out she is pregnant. Problem is she is in an unhappy marriage and not happy with her life.

The story behind this film has it's own story which is a tragic one, but the film shines through and holds up by itself. This film had everything that a good film needs, and being a low budget film can show big budget film makers a thing or two. When I first heard about this film, I thought it was going to be another low budget, under developed story, oh how wrong I was.

This film had me glued to the screen the entire time, it had some of the greatest one liners I have heard in a long time. The characters you come to love and despise, but by the end you come to appreciate the work that went in to such a small but wonderful story.

I strongly recommend you see this, it may not be for everyone, but this is a must see in my book.
