Slow burn, worth sticking with

By FoxRoy (9 reviews) , 12 Jul 2012

[Highly rated reviewer]

This is a very slow burn so don't give up half way through; it needs to be seen as a whole. Probably over romanticised view of a true story but thought provoking non the less.

Wonderful and moving

By thumbstick (2 reviews) , 25 Jun 2012

Very uplifting, sensitive and tragic. A refreshingly unique film and a true story. It is impossible not to be moved by the folly of youthful ideas and the selfishness of their idealistic actions. Watch it and weep
