Terrible and brilliant, 21 May 2001
7/10
Author: Maria Moberg from Kiruna, Sweden

It's a movie that goes strait to your heart.A brilliant movie about a terrible thing. I was 18 when I saw it. It frightened me, but I couldn't stop watching. When the movie was over I was stunned, I couldn't even think about going to sleep. It took me an hour to react and when I did I cried for about 30 min. My advise is that you should see this movie if you get the chance. Let us learn from the past so that it will never ever happen again.
