dark and touching
4 January 2011
unsettling subject matter, powerful film, dark, beautiful, touching a sad reflection on a subject matter where a story like this just adds to the bewilderment of why people do such things, very sad to watch perfect acting by all & brave director to take on such a film the story could have been more focused but i was glued to the screen due to empathy with some characters and loaving for others - an area where a lot of films fail. I feel the other reviewers who have said this is wishy washy and a load of rubbish have no imagination, you must allow yourself to be swept away with the film. If you can do that the cgi etc just enhances the film. Such people with no imagination should stick to watching soaps and the news!! do not watch this and expect to laugh or have fun afterwards its quite sad to watch.

i didn't know what the film was about before i watched it so it hit me a little bit. please read IMDb main page for description of the film, these are my thoughts after watching it.

a note to the geeks who have prattled on about a book it was based on. get over it. a movie is a vastly different media to a book and will never be the same. i wish people would stop going on about books when reviewing a movie. take it as it is. if i love a book that much i wouldn't watch the film based on it.
