Great movie, hard to watch


This is one of my favourite films, for acting and direction mainly. Tim Roth did a fantastic job with such a difficult storyline. As did all of the actors involved.
Though it is one of my favourite films, I have only ever watched it twice, and I do own it. I find it difficult to watch, this film is completely unflinching. The scene with the baby was easily one of the most horrible 'implied' scenes ever.
Ray Winston did such a fantastic job with this movie it actually put me off him for a good few years. As whenever I watched a movie with him in, sexy beast or the departed all I could think was "pedo".
Still, subject material aside still a great movie.
