    A Beautiful Film
    This is truly a beautiful film.

    Well written and superbly acted it tugs at the heartstrings harder than almost any other movie. The way it sets up an obvious story line and then like a gentle roller-coaster suddenly takes you in another direction is unequalled in this type of film.

    There are so many points of genuine sadness and whenever you think you have guessed the story you suddenly turn to find an outcome more surprising than you thought.

    Major characters die, major characters do not "fall in love" and major characters are not allowed to cop-out; it is as a film should be.

    Remarkable well written, produced with care and acted with understatement and love - it is a beautiful film.

    Watch it.
