So glad my friends made me see it!

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2010)

I have to admit, the title and subject matter wasn't exactly making me want to jump out of my seat to see it. But so many friends kept saying how great it was, and how wonderful the acting was, so I just decided to head out and see it. The beginning was cold and uncomfortable, but it set the stage perfectly. The film sucked me in, and kept me interested and involved. I cared about all the characters. Even though it's uncomfortable at times, there is enough heart and humanity and humor that makes it a treat to see. The acting is indeed top notch. It's beautifully shot too. I say it's one of the best films I've seen this year.
