A PERFECT DAY (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

A Perfect Day, even though it has a small story, somehow works itself from ‘so wrong’ to ‘likable’ to ‘so right’. It’s a small peek into challenges faced by humanitarian causes. Thank you to Benicio Del Toro, Tim Robbins, Mélanie Thierry, Olga Kurylenko, and Eldar Rasidovic under the direction of Director Fernando Leon de Aranoa for their involvement in making this subject matter a priority.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. It’s a very good discussion film about humanitarian efforts and the challenges faced by people who wish to do good in places deeply divided. This film encourages extension of thought into other areas and the challenges good willed persons face to solve very real human challenges.
