I am a big fan of Jessie B and had heard Mark K's review of this. Well not a 'typical' movie and thank goodness for that .

Great direction and some stunning cinematography with an unnerving tone.

The closing sequence will get all the attention perhaps rightly so. But the film pulled me in and contained a great deal of mystery and metaphor.

What starts with taking a bite of a forbidden apple ends with blood and carnage of the most unpredictable kind.

It won't be for everyone that's for sure. But I loved the silence and the soundtrack. Roy Kinnear also needs a medal for his performance. A grotesque exploration of pain anguish and self doubt that concludes with many questions but overall a movie that will last in the memory.

Rare to see such strong performances in a mini-series.

Both leads are incredible in this movie. An incredibly absorbing watch whilst being uncomfortable as we access the mind of a serial killer.

A Timeless classic

I don't hand out 10 stars easily. But there are a few movies that just stand out .. A film with such a fabulous script and played with wonderful comic timing. The wordplay between Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal is a joy to watch. It makes you want to head to New York City and fall in love immediately. One of the best romcom movies of all time.

Worth a watch

I enjoyed this. It made a change to have an authentic movie with a lead character who was vulnerable and believable. As other reviews have mentioned it gets the 18 certificate for a rather grim section in the plot. Good acting and pace throughout and a good tense finish.

Fascinating

A compelling documentary. Really shows the adoration of the man himself and the power that football has to shift the mindset of the community. The film focuses mostly on his time at Napoli and I had very little Idea about what happened when they signed him. Certainly worth a watch
