Touch | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Is there something worse than loving someone and losing them for five decades? Yes, there is. This film about two people who leave an irreversible touch on each other brought tears to my eyes.

Miko’s emotional story unfolds in a way that is itself as gentle and profound as a Japanese Haiku.

Touch is an uncommonly poignant drama that balances rich sentimentality with more harrowing themes. Only cynics will resist a swoon or three.

An old-school weepie smothered in a syrupy string score, Touch is an unexpected offering from Icelandic action director Kormákur, who has made his name pitting humans against nature: the Himalayas in Everest, the sea in Adrift, a rogue lion in Beast.

Though undeniably predictable in terms of premise, structure and final outcome, this exquisitely produced and acted affair just does not put a foot wrong as it gently lures you towards its misty-eyed destination.
