This is one of the few films I never tire of watching. All the grittiness of ken Loach with humour and redemption. Watch it!
In the 15 years or so since I last watched this film, I had forgotten just how brilliant it was. Now watching it again with my 17-year-old son, I found it extraordinarily - almost unbearably - beautiful and sad. We were both in tears by the end...
An incredible film that shakes you to the core. Probably not one to have watched with my 12-yearold daughter but it's certainly given us lots to talk about. Very highly recommended.
Engages with the horrors of what war does to people beyond physical injury - absolutely spellbinding.
Watched this with my kids, who were riveted throughout. I'm not an expert enough to say how close it was to what really happened, but as a film it is first-rate and: very thought-provoking and compelling to watch.
A superb film: incredible acting and an important story to tell. I know from friends' experiences how shockingly true-to-life this is.
