a truly outstanding film, combining a compelling script with beautiful, music

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2005)

One of the most captivating of films, combined with haunting music, which strikes directly at one's emotions. Beautiful construction with cleverly scripted music that perfectly fits the story - but - with music of such depth and feeling, it is difficult to believe that it was written for a film. The music stands on its own merits and should be with us for very many years.
The choir, and lead, were of exceptional standard, both singing and in their artistic ability as actors. It would be difficult to find fault with either.
Special mention of 'Mathieu' who made the part and, in many ways, the film.
All the awards truly deserved - and earned.
