inspirational, uplifting and a worthy top ten film ever

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2006)

am i one of the few who watched this at a cinema? Watched at the now closed Odeon, Haymarket on a Wednesday when I had nothing better to do and know very little about the film apart from a Geordie mate kept raving about it. With limited expectations, I came out totally enthralled by a magnificent cinematic experience - one that you all too rarely enjoy. To me you have to take inspiration from Defrene; no matter how tough your situation is, you need to focus on what you want to achieve and retain the belief that your dreams can come true. The scene on top of the roof, drinking beer is tops. Only wish I knew where my son has posted the DVD! We have to watch it on video now!
