Emotional, captivating and very well written

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2019)

I had heard a lot of positive things about this film, and I thought that I should finally see what all of the fuss was about, so I bought it on DVD and watched it tonight. I was very moved, and I feel like it has left an imprint on me.
Throughout the film, you're left constantly questioning how the film will end and whether or not he is guilty and spends the rest of his life in prison, and I found myself trying to come up with all kinds of theories for what was to come. So, when the twist towards the end slapped me in the face and left me kicking myself for not seeing it sooner, I realised just how clever the entire film was.
Now I can see why everyone has been raving about this film since it came out 25 years ago! The only reason I rated it an 8 as supposed to a 9 or 10 is because I felt that some scenes were unnecessarily long and this meant that I became a little fidgety and distracted.
