One user got it spot on

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2004)

the user who said that the boy involved underwent a massive change thro the film was right.
I showed this film to a couple of mates who have just started to watch subtitled films, but they have to be good to grab and sustain their attention. This did. The emotions that the lead lad shows is wot makes this film great, when the lad sees the old man burned and the man turns to him and speaks the lad breaks down, is one of the films highlights. this is a really dark film portraying a dark time....5/5
