CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
a-lawrence123 This movie is a family favourite as the youngest of four and the only girl my brothers introduced me to this film as they new about my THING for Mr Daltrey !!! My brothers and I have watched this film together on many occasions and I have watched it without them and am sure they have done the same. Mr Daltrey is topclass in the movie, the soundtrack so good i downloaded to my mp3 player. Years ago one of my brothers had a car crash and was in a coma for 3 weeks, we were asked to bring in a stereo headphone with his favourite music for him to listen to while he was in a coma (" they say they can still hear"). THis soundtrack was one of the first we played to him as he liked the music and film. Please listen to the soundtrack as you can still picture the film along with the songs. 10 out of 10 great film .
lottiescates I do not see peoples strange fixation with this film. Are people not aware of what an evil sick child molester that Wally Probyn is? I was one of these man victims, he repeatedly raped me for four years from the age of 7. He also used to take indecent photographs of his victims for his sick pleasure. I got to know what a conniving cowardly man Wally Probyn was and he certainly does not deserve god like status. Wally Probyn was convicted at The Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey) he received a 4 year sentence for abusing his step daughter, I was a supporting witness, but I was put through weeks of police interviews, taken to places where he had abused me and had to look through 1000's of indecent photographs this man had taken of other poor young children some were severely mentally disabled. This will haunt me forever. Every time this film comes on to TV I feel sick, he had a long history of paedophilia back from when he raped his own 3 year old sister.
ldearden An absolute classic, with Daltrey portraying McVicar to a T. One of the best British gangster flicks, that will undoubtedly have taught Guy Ritchie a thing or two. Directed in such a way that the viewers sympathy lies unequivocally with the criminal, it relates a message without being pious. Very refreshing.
Scurfield An excellent movie which features Roger Daltry in the title role. Watch for the wonderful performance by Matthew Scurfield as "Streaky Jeffries'.
