Advantages: fast paced, original

Disadvantages: bit too sensitive and some gruesom bits

This was quite a shocking film for me! I was not expecting how though provoking or emotional it would be. I thought it was very well done and such an original idea. I did not particulary like the (what I would call) card core stuff, but I think it was very effective and made for a really good film that would stick with the audience. I also respect the amount of research that would need to go into a film like that and I think Dev Patel acted out the role really well. It was a sensitive film with a good ending. Also the soundtrack to this film is amazing. I found the film quite long but I did not get bored throughout. It is a film that I would watch again as you would probably miss bits the first time of watching it. It deserved all of the award and good reviews that it got.

Summary: Really good film, but very though provoking. Not a light hearted film.
