Best drama I have ever seen. Still haunted by it, 6 weeks later.

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2009)

As the subject says, this is the most emotive piece of drama I have ever seen. The writer and director set up realistic characters that you feel for, then systematically destroy each of them.
I have a pretty strong stomach when it comes to movies but I have to say I felt physically ill after the end of this movie and even now, it still upsets me to think of the characters and what happened to them. That is how powerful this is. There is nothing really graphic about it, but oh boy, does it claw at your heart.
Just a warning - this is a very depressing story. Be prepared for that. If you want a demonstration of outstanding storytelling, this is it.
