The emotional impact of the movie, 15 December 2001
9/10
Author: virginia van engel from Melbourne, Australia

I found this movie to be surprisingly 'deep' in its impact upon me. It ended up being one of the most compelling and one of the saddest movies I have ever seen. This reaction was not normal for me and was not expected from the storyline, yet it has remained one of the movies that I always mention when asked for memorable movies.
