Here is my visual review done in an original visual style with several graphics that work you through the film.

The film is about ordinary people doing extraordinary feats. The director states, "Even when a character is doing something noble or selfless, we wanted to take out the heroism from it.” This is not a hero film. It’s about everyday people finding inner ability they never thought they had. There is more to you than you know.
