Best film since Richard Attenborough's Gandhi!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2003)

It is almost impossible to write in words (especially for a non-English speaker) the impact this film has had on me when I first saw it. I can say it in one word only: fabulous, fantastic, moving, touching, great, must-see, incredible. And of course Jamie Bell is the top star. His acting and dancing is phenomenal. The best dancing act is when you see him dancing and tapping on the roof of a shed next to his house and in the streets, after Mrs. Wilkinson pays a visit to his house to inform his family about the audition. You see Billy literally breaking free from his brick confinement. What more can I say. To me this film ranks among the top-5 best films ever made.
