Fantastic and heart-wrenching

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2001)

This film was wonderful. I first read about it in Empire and remember recording it ages ago but never getting around to watch it. I decided to rent it one day and a few hours later couldn't stop crying. The acting was superb, the script gripping and the way the two halves of those people's lives were shown was brilliant.
Christopher Walken is now my favourite actor and The Deer Hunter my favourite film.
Simply stunning.
