User Reviews

Dreams and reality 'The land' and 'DOPE'.

Watch dope after this film for a good contrast.

To be honest the shock at the end (youll know if you've watched it) pulls it all together, to really push across a message thats hard to ignore.

This film is about dreams, friendship, greed and most of all reality. Yes it is a bleak film at times, but I feel unfortunately life is often bleak - especially when born into bleak circumstances as many people are. There are a lot of morals to be found in this story, and something which I have to say i love is the absence of romance. This film was about friendship, family and all the other factors involved., and didn't feel the need to pimp itself up with a romantic story line irrelevant to the story.
