Excellent movie

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2008)

I went to see this movie with my husband and in-laws. I knew nothing of the plot, but my husband had read the book. I am fan of David Thewlis, so that's why I wanted to see it.
The movie pulls you into the story almost immediately. You really feel for these characters. They are portrayed very nicely, and I think most, if not all, the main characters have quite a bit of depth to them.
The end of the movie caught me by surprise, but it was also very well done. As someone who has lost a child, I could really understand the despair felt by the parents, especially the mother. Her portrayal of a woman falling into the depths of despair is very, very well done.
I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who... well... anyone.
