Quietly powerful Irish drama about the challenges faced by a young couple with intellectual disabilities.
The disabled characters are all played by disabled actors which may be why the film feels so true to life.
Sanctuary emphasises how unwilling the rest of society is to treat those with learning disabilities as thinking, feeling adults with yearnings and desires of their own.
Aided by their care worker, a couple in love embark on an illegal tryst in an unsentimental romcom played with terrific gentleness and honesty.
