It's a shame that Casey Affleck's actions off-screen meant that 'Light of My Life' was destined to be lost in the movie release wilderness. Newcomer Anna Pniowsky matches Affleck's typically delicate, mumbling performance perfectly and they share a genuine, easy rapport onscreen, anchoring a touching (if intense) relationship drama. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-light-of-my-life-an-intense-test-of-the-father-daughter-bond
