A classic that will not grow old for a very long time (ironic in some respects)

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2007)

This film truly is a dark horse. It hits you with a swing from the side when you're expecting an uppercut. I hadn't tracked progress of this production and so only came across it when the trailer was released. Immediately the plot caught my attention and my girlfriend and myself both agreed it was a must see (through interest of how they would progress the story) and we were not in anyway disappointed. Unlike many recent films of a grim near future the story doesn't require an obvious twist to justify two hours of simple plot, it sticks with what it says on the tin and delivers perfectly. Its truly beautiful. Tear jerking in fact.
Please please rent or buy this film. Support a truly amazing British movie production and understand for yourself why this is my number one film of 2006.
