Still in shock

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2012)

Just picked this movie nearly at random from a boring night with DSTV in Africa and after first ten minutes started to look around again. Found nothing else so stuck with it. Was alone at home watching with increasing enthrallment as the characters and story evolved. The acting was brilliant and the plot increasingly compelling but nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared me for the ending. As the end came and the outcome increasingly clear i was transfixed, hand over mouth, unable to move. I sat that way for 10 minutes after the titles had finished. Having never even heard of the movie but seen others on the same subject i was absolutely shocked by the brilliant way in which the story unfolded to its terrible end. I am not normally a weeper but even now i still have tears in my eyes........ nothing more to say
