And here begins the journey of finding who Stuart was and why he is the way he is now.David Attwood directs "Stuart: A Life Backwards" with grace and wisdom, working with a depressed subject without sentimentalism and using of plenty of humor, some comic reliefs and a great deal of imagination throughout little animated segments (everytime Masters thinks of Stuart's ideas or picturing moments of his life).
What murdered the little boy I was?" he says. "Make it involving, do it like Tom Clancy. And it is Stuart that gives Alexander the idea of writing his story in backwards. The man in question is Stuart Shorter (Tom Hardy), an troubled and angered young man who has been arrested several different times, who suffers from a muscular dystrophy and lots of other problems as well but who happens to impress Alexander in a unique way with some smartness, his humor and a great sense of friendship. It all starts when writer Alexander Masters (Benedict Cumberbatch) having plenty of available time on his hands decided to write the story of a homeless man he met while coordinating an campaign to release from prison the directors of a project that helps homeless people. Here's an warming real life story transformed into a lovely TV film.
