Most Moving movie I ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2001)

I took my Mother to see this movie precisely because I thought it would be one of those 'special' movies. I have lived in the USA for several years now and only visit England 2-3 times a year and I like to take my Mother to the movies when I go home as she does not get to go very often.
I had no idea how moving a movie could be. I have been told that this movie is not as moving as the 'real footage' of what actually happened but how could it ever be? Especially if your family was involved in this nightmare.
However, for me this movie was the most moving I have ever seen. I have never walked out of a cinema and attempted to say something but could not because my words were choked back by the emotion in me. In deed, there were many times that the tears were flowing and not because of cheap cinematic tricks but because the way this story was presented was so effective that I could not help myself become immersed in the realism of the horror that un-folded but at the same time showing that there can be humanity even in those we least expect.
In two words - Amazing and Humbling, easily my number one film, even though it is difficult to experience, anyone remotely interested in film HAS to see this.
