Probably brilliant, but just not my kind of movie, I soon gave up watching

Rating: 5/10 (9 October 2009)

We weren't interested enough in the subject so didn't go to cinema to see this movie, but noticing it on the library shelf the other day, I decided to give it a go as surely with all the prizes etc it must be good.
Well, no doubt it is good, but I was bored with it from the start in spite of the social issues etc. I stopped watching after about half an hour, I didn't even look at the extras, and back it went to the library. I'm sure it's well worth most people watching and the subject matter does sound poignant as well as powerful, so don't be put off by my comments.
