This is one of, if not my favourite film of all time. Set in Edinburgh in Scotland, the movie hits close to home as I was born nearby in a city called Glasgow, so any and all landmarks mentioned in this film I have a personal attachment to. Given the sensitive nature of the main conflict in the film, and the fact that the aforementioned issue was a real life, and rather large issue in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and throughout Scotland during the 1980's and 1990's, it sends a really strong message about what abuse can do to a person and their relationships. This, mixed in with a fair dose of both light and dark humour make it one of the best films of all time in my humble opinion.
