STRONGER (2017) REVIEW!

STRONGER (2017) FILM REVIEW! STARRING: Jake Gyllenhaal, Tatian Maslany, Miranda Richardson WHAT IT'S ABOUT: Based on the real life experience’s of Jeff Bauman, who survived the Boston marathon bombings of 2013, Stronger follows a young man who is thrust into the limelight after he looses both of his legs in the attack.

The parents are soon off away on their holiday, Mrs. Heelshire whispers 'I'm so sorry' whilst leaving, it is beyond ominous. So all is fine at first, Greta enjoys a glass of wine, ignoring the doll. Then, as the days turn, more and more strange things begin to happen, Greta
