I saw the film last night in Norwich and was really surprised by what a good film it was. The performances by the two lads that played the lead roles were extremely accomplished and they look like they've got great careers ahead of them. It was certainly a very dark edgy watch for much of it, but there was a real sense of John's headlong rush through a new life filled with fantastic (good and bad) new experiences We've waited so long for this thing to be shown that I was fully prepared to be underwhelmed by it, but as it has turned out, this is something that most casual filmgoers would thoroughly enjoy...Elaine has nailed it !
