I loved this film - the characters, the acting, the filming, everything about it. It stays with you. I knew nothing about it before my dad took me. He always picks the gold! I was instantly gripped by the filming and the way it made me feel. The shots were always intriguing and filled with multiple layers bubbling away underneath an apparently simple scene. I was so pleased with how i never knew what was going to happen & I loved the way the ending didn't disappoint me .... The way I was worried it was going to where you leave with a sense of emotional manipulation. This film doesn't need to play such lame games. It simply presents the characters- no one over acting, no one annoying with their attempts to pull your strings. No child acting precocious & "cute". It's so much more powerful, in my view, to simply present them - and have interesting, complex, realistic characters and a story that is not all tied up like a ribbon. Surprisingly positive for such a damning indictment on the "justice" system. Left me feeling satisfied, not played. Brilliant.
