It's a feel-good film.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Some of the best stories are the most inspiring ones, but biopics can fail the very real people they’re based on. This is especially true if the film in question is focused more on the message than the person at its center.
The biopic has a lot of heart, and there are quite a few touching moments. The story is fueled by José’s perseverance and tenacity in the face of rejection. Achieving a dream takes its toll on José’s family over the years, and A Million Miles Away doesn’t shy away from showcasing how hard one’s singular goals can be on everyone they’re close to.
And while the biopic is a story for those who dream big despite the hurdles life can throw, or the inequality built into the system, it glosses over much of José’s personal life to the detriment of the overall story. José’s entire personality revolves around his dream of being an astronaut; it practically suffocates his character, preventing any further development beyond that single goal.
