Unexpectedly Good, 17 March 2004
8/10
Author: Matt Grover from West Sussex, England

I was a tad aprehensive about this film, purely because of the subject matter, I thought it would bore me to tears.

However I was pleasantly surprised, I saw this film at Pinewood Studios, at a screening set up with the British Society of Cinematographers, to be followed with a Q&A session with John Furse (Dir.) and Ian Wilson (DP), when it came to the end I had no technical questions to ask as the film was so engaging. The acting is brilliant and you can't help but be transfixed to the characters.

The overall look of the film is very well done, the lighting really acting as part of the narrative, as does the sound, instead of just making things look, or sound, nice.

Well worth watching, I saw a small review in Total Film, so I'm assuming it's on cinema release on some scale, if you don't catch it, get the DVD.

Matt
