By the end, this is a gut-wrenching, tear-jerking kind of movie, especially if you've raised children. Jessie Buckley should get an Oscar for the final scene alone.
 

Depends on how strictly you define a "movie theater". I've had almost no good experiences in actual theaters ( I actually hate them ), but there was this one show I experienced in Disney World that blew me away. I don't remember the title of it, but it stared Drew Carey and was I demonstration of positional audio. You started by sitting in a normal theater wearing headphones while a video is shown on the big screen. Drew gets kidnapped and blindfolded and the lights in the theater go out. From then on you are meant to be Drew as things go on around him. Good doesn't come close to describing it, it was perfect. There was a sequence where the kidnapper is right next to your head and it was so real I started to lean away from the speaker. No positional audio set up I've ever experienced comes close. I'm sad that the tech never seemed to come home. There was a Dolby headphone standard, but it was never as good as the Disney show.
