What a great film!

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2014)

So much to praise about this film.
It's not too often you come across a film like this. When a film really makes you sit back and think about how easily everything in life can be taken away from you (and all the people it's happened to), it changes your outlook on life. I don't think I've ever felt despair for a character in a film the way I did for Solomon.
Haven't seen a film this powerful since the first time I watched City of God. Though I would not put the two films in the same category, they both portray an intense image of how cruel a place the world can be.
Great acting, powerful story and superb direction. This movie will stand the test of time.
