Inspiring

Rating: 9/10 (15 July 2015)

An extraordinary and moving story, based in fact about a tale of incredible endurance in the face of terrible adversity and brutality.
Brilliantly acted and very well directed. I have not read the book but it is pointless to compare a movie and a book or an apple and a pear or a car against a bicycle. Best to judge the movie on its own terms and I loved it.
Essentially it demonstrates well how humanity can survive in the face of the cruellest inhumanity. A long movie that seemed to fly by for me.
Everyone with an empathetic heart and open mind should watch this movie and you may feel a more humane and inspired person as a result.
