The movie The Death and Life of John F. Donovan was nominated for the Best Canadian Feature Film and it has really awesome cast of famous stars with interesting story. Natalie Portman, Susan Sarandon and young Jacob Tremblay have bring this story to life and watching the trailer I thought that it was actually based on the true story.
