COMMENTS:
- Interesting. Excellent performances from the cast. Very engaging
- The divide
- Very good but very depressing
- Very well acted
- In a word – ‘WOW!’
- Not the ‘We are poor but make our own fun’ film I was expecting
- Easy to judge the mother for bringing up her child as a friend, but , who knows what background she had that ill-prepared her for motherhood
- Brilliant film about awful people living in the most awful country in the world
- Hell of a message and very dull in parts. Desperate film about desperate situation
- Engaging from start to the staggering finish – surely destined to be a classic! More of this please
- Random story line. All over the place. Irrelevant end!
- Hard to see what the point of this film was – and impossible to tell what they were talking about most of the time.
- Confusing finale
- Too long, bored at times, moving at end
- Awful end
