Excellent film!, 7 October 2004
10/10

When I began watching this film, I wasn't sure what to make of it at first, mainly because I had to get used to the accent. But once I got used to the language, I couldn't turn away. The story and acting were superb--Matthew Leitch was amazing as Dean! The movie completely drew me in, and being that it was based on actual events made it that much better. It is amazing to watch this movie and think that it had all actually happened. I honestly can't put into words how much I have fallen in love with this movie.

For those who have negative comments because of poor quality, I'd just like to mention that it isn't the type of film or equipment you use that makes a movie like this--it's the acting. It's not about big budgets and glamour--it's about a story. Besides, I don't think I would have enjoyed it so much if had been "perfect." The rough edges really help to make the movie that much better. For anyone who appreciates a movie for what it truly is, you will completely enjoy this film.
