I don't think I have ever laughed and shed tears so much in any one film. Admittedly as a lifelong L&H enthusiast, I was prepared to be hyper-critical as so many biopics are frankly terrible.
No need to worry, the depiction of each by the superb John C Reilly and Steve Coogan was immaculate; sometimes you could think you were watching the originals. Matched by true authenticity and camera work, this is the best film I have seen for years. It will be very interesting to see if it receives the awards it richly deserves as it does not fit the usual description of recent Oscars etc
