Like *nothing* else...

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2004)

Quite how they came up with I'll never know, but I would like to meet their dealer. Jim has now proved he is Oscar-worthy and many who have seen the film would have already given him their vote. His role is played with such stark emotion that it's difficult to fathom how he managed to invoke the frame of mind I imagine must have been required.
Kate Winslet is also apparent as something I could never her being. Her part is overflowing with feeling and heart, while at the same time exuding a gritty realism that makes her interplay with Jim's character that much more intense.
The storyline is related with perfect structure and the gradual slope approaches the ending with meaningful delivery.
The film is technically perfect and cannot be faulted in any other way.
