Absolutely Tremendous!

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2000)

This film blew me away. Seeing the trailers, I thought this would be a bit of a soft, schmalzy chick-flick. What I got was a rollercoaster ride of a film. Funny, serious, inspirational, dark, grim, hopeful - in fact every emotion was felt throughout this film. The cinematography is superb and the acting is second-to-none. You can really feel the emotions of the characters in their strike-ridden tormented family life and Billy himself is worthy of an Oscar. Go see this now, truly a film for all seasons!
