    • Trivia
      Emer Kenny's debut and first nude scene. She was 17. She said in an interview that nudity is a part of the job of acting because your body is your tool and some characters require it. She said filming her topless scene in this movie was scary but it was essential to the brilliant script, and she had to agree to it because there was no way she was getting that part if she didn't.
    • Goofs
      David is seen self-harming by cutting himself on his arms. When he writes a postcard to Alice, he says (in voiceover) "Mum has seen the scars on my arms". However the writing on the card says "Mum has seen the scars on my chest".

    Acting beyond his years
    This tale of two brothers, lost love, family upheaval could have so easily have failed on the screen. Due to the acting of Jessop and Hoult, the film turned out to be one of the most rewarding watches of the year. Hoult, who has been in a rash of TV and cinema performances recently, affirmed his status as one of the screen's brightest young stars. Jessop was just astounding....graduating his performance as the film progressed, shedding his skin so to speak.What could have been so mawkish turned out to be a serious display of the screenwriters art, and all the cast deserve praise for bringing such realism to the screen. I rate this film as 9 out of 10.
