Where's the DVD?, 13 January 2008
9/10
Author: jr-parent from United Kingdom

Prior to watching I expected maybe a 5. It was worth at least an 8.5, and the surprise factor alone justifies the additional 0.5. Brilliant. I'd like to see the film on DVD ASAP. I note a few comments against this film which I don't see as justified - most especially "Major_Movie_Star"'s comment on the "racist cleaner/maintenance-man". This came across to me as a very good portrayal of stereotyping, followed by empathy, so the transition was totally believable, but i guess that depends on how much pain you've been through. Personally I can relate directly to the loss felt by many of the characters in this film, and I thought the attention to detail here, especially giving the Walkman to the child towards the end, was brilliant. This will be a definite buy for me.
