Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
dvdbuff2001 Films about drug addiction has been made many many times before. To be unique and stand out, it has to be special and this film is. Featuring excellent performances throughout, the ultimate success or failure of the film really rests on the shoulders of the young buy Paul (played by Harry Eden) whose eyes we see the film through. I have seen many great performances by young actors and actresses but this is one of the very best (a truly astounding performance). The film offers a different perspective on drug addictions' effects and is a very powerful viewing experience. With a well scripted story which felt very believable, this is a film I can strongly recommend. As a side note, it's great to see that Mr Eden is still acting.
beresfordjd Normally I am depressed by these kind of movies. There is a place for a look at the worst side of life but I don't usually seek them out for entertainment. However the performances in this are uniformly excellent and I watched it in spite of my prejudices. Particular praise goes out to Molly Parker and David Wenham, both from other parts of the world, but playing Londoners convincingly. Paul, wonderfully played by Harry Eden, is a fully fleshed character and Eden is unusually good for a child actor who, in effect, is carrying the whole movie, as he is in practically every scene. If anyone needs to see the misery that drugs cause they could do little better than watch this film.
sukhpreet Just saw this on Sundance. loved it. beautiful acting, story, music, direction. Molly Parker is awesome once again. It was actually refreshing to see a movie where an addict actually beats her addiction. The scene where Mel (Molly Parker) sees her son (played wonderfully by Harry Eden) under the influence of heroine was especially touching.
thegoddess63 I saw this movie at the Toronto film festival. Yet again Molly Parker gives a convincing performance, this time as a widowed single mother who becomes a drug addict. David Wenham plays her son and he goes to heroic lengths to keep his family together. Love rules in this movie.
