Just a bit more to add to praise already given.

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2009)

Hype often accompanies a movie, the press are often not to be believed in a lot of cases. This movie however far exceeds the hype. One critic said this film will be used for study in the future. It is indeed a classic and deserves to be part of any curriculum. Look at any of the reviews on here that are enthusiastic, yes, it is all true. I have to add though that the editing is absolutely superb, I hope to see awards for that too. Danny Boyle has spoke of the fact that lack of English skills with the youngsters forced them to use Hindi with subtitles. I agree with Danny that this in fact improves the movie no end, but not only that the way the English subtitles are positioned next to the person who spoke them on the screen means that no momentum is lost, the subtitles come across as an enhancement which does not spoil the movie in any way. I'm not saying too much about the movie as it's best to go into the theatre with a clean slate, sit back and enjoy folks it's well worth it.
