Rudy is a film that does not disappoint. In it you will find the beautiful story of human life and fragility and also the hurts and connections found within it. Auerbach's stories are not "gritty" reality, nor saccharine tinged but instead quietly beautiful with characters honed like carefully polished stones. Snippets of character's previous lives are given by almost blink and you miss them sentences and small evocative gestures such a childhood drawing found in an unsuspected place or a lost parent's jacket blowing on the breeze carry us through and draw us ever closer in to the story and the feelings of its main protagonists. It reminds us of the simplicities of life away from the distractions of social media and the zoom overkill of the Covid era. It is a beautiful film that is worth every moment of its 10 years of making, taking off from where the sublime Dear Frankie left us. Not to be missed.
