User Reviews

Life-Changing!

I watch so many movies, most of them become like wallpaper to my life, barely worthy of comment other than the 90 minute-long void in my life that they fill.

'Mind the Gap', however, was such enthralling viewing, and filled with so many points that made me question my own actions in life, that when the titles came up at the end, I actually felt that I had spent my time wisely, and felt so uplifted I had a tangible 'up-ness' about me! Superb acting, well-shot, and the intermingling stories provide a plot rich in human experience.

The most note-worthy film I have seen in a (sadly) long, long time! :-)
