This powerful, heartbreaking (and ultimately heartwarming) documentary tells the story of the young man who served as Daniel Radcliffe’s stunt double throughout the entire ‘Harry Potter’ film franchise until a freak on-set accident left him paralyzed at age 26. Holmes and Radcliffe have remained fast friends, and the star offers his own earnest and moving commentary on his buddy’s struggles and determination. Director Dan Hartley tells the story exceedingly well and lets the circumstances and relationships speak for themselves, steadfastly avoiding manipulation and treacle. You won’t leave with dry eyes, but you will leave with your heart full.
4.5/5 stars
