    fantastic film

    I have never read the book but now I've seen the film I may read it. This film is an emotional compelling and brilliant work of art. The actresses, especially the ones who play April, are fantastic. The story line is an emotional and moving one and the actresses who plays April make it believable and moving. I am a 30 year old male and never watch these type of films as I am into my action, martial arts, and Sci-Fi films but even I shed a few tears at the end of this great British film and I'm not ashamed to say either. All the actresses bonded well to make thier characters believable. What a great film, I recommend it even if you don't normally watch this type of movie.
