True to the title of the film, Rust and Bone tells the story of a woman who has been fitted with a steel prosthesis and a man who grew up with a broken hand bone. The impoverished Ali was originally a fighter. He lost his job to support his family because of injuries. He had to take his son to seek refuge with his sister, who was not well-off. He also worked as a bodyguard in the local area, earning money by playing black boxing from time to time. A little extra, and Stephanie is a tiger shark trainer at Ocean Park who loses her legs in an accident on a performance, and the fate of this couple is intertwined by chance encounter; , is not inspirational, but presents the process of a big boy's painful transformation into a big man. The film's expression is very delicate, and every detail can truly capture the emotion in it. I like such a non-exaggerated film very much.
