I’m not much of a movie watcher. It’s very rare that movies touch me the way books do. Emotionally, I just have a very hard time getting attached to the plots and characters.

But every once in awhile, I find a movie that’s flawless. The soundtrack, the script, the plot, the casting, the acting, the cinematography just take my breath away.

Tonight, it was October Baby.

I first saw the DVD in Deseret Book a few years back. It looked intriguing, though I’ll admit I was a bit hesitant. Sometimes the movies Deseret  books sells aren’t the best quality. But something about the synopsis on the back intrigued me and tugged at me.

When I saw this movie on Netflix I instantly queued it, and settled down to watch it tonight.

I can’t even express how beautiful this movie is. Everything about it is pure genius. Though I can’t relate to Hannah’s personal story, I could relate to the need to forgive. Just … the last time a movie moved me this much was How to Train Your Dragon 2. The emotions coursing through me are akin to what The Chronicles of Narnia series makes me feel.

I’ve found my new favorite movie.
