A Modern Classic... A Fable for Our Times

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2009)

Slumdog Millionaire is one of the true rarities in cinema (and especially in recent times)... a film that transcends the boundaries of genre, language and emotion to create a superlative modern fable. Its messages of hope and undying love will touch the hardest of hearts, while the visual and audio style will have every movie fan leaping for joy.
For me personally, this is as close to a "perfect" film that you could have. Every element in the production process is note-perfect, from the outstanding cast in front of the cameras, to the incredible talent behind them. the film contains every emotion imaginable, from loss, sadness and despair, through to comedy, romance and elation.
This film will shock you, break your heart, make you laugh, make you cry... but most of all, it will provide you with one of the most unique and sensational cinematic experiences you could ever wish for.
