Nothing to add, just to say it's beyond brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2009)

I have never, ever been so taken with a film. I went with two friends, luckily close ones, as I cried like a child through a good third of the film. All those situations, from the trying to connect with the girl in the strip club, the estranged relationships, the wanting to change but just not remotely being able to, the heartbreak, the poverty, seeing the world change and not being able to keep up, ... from my limited experience this film was ruthlessly authentic to the nth degree. Astonishing film, I can't imagine seeing a greater, more realistic film. If, as we are told, god came down as Jesus to try and see life from our perspective, I recommend He view this film and see how it really is today.
