i didnt know what to make of this film when it started, i felt so bad for david even knowing that it wasnt bens fult, it cant be easy growing up with a brother or sister with speacil needs (yup i have crap spelling guess that means im speacil too! lol)

after watching ths film i have to say i liked it even if i ddidnt really get what it was trying to teach us, i give it a 6 outta 10, the young actor playing david did a very powerful and moveing job

I liked it too, just seen it now on bbc aswell, I felt bad for both ben and david most the time and I recognised the Actor from skins and alice was an actress from waterloo road I enjoyed it too :)

I also thought it was fantastic. In the middle bit just after he'd pushed him the whole thing got so dark I couldn't see anything but a sad ending for it, I was really torn between the innocence of ben and the unfairness of david's situation. I was impressed by the way they managed to continue and i thought the end was really endearing. very enjoyable :)

9/10 from me.

"the whole thing got so dark I couldn't see anything but a sad ending for it"

I agree completely, the way they worked the ending was very powerful. Had my eyes watering all the way through the final 17 minutes.

I found it a bit rushed and cliched at times but Nick Hoult was really good, can't stand his character in Skins though, but that's probably the point!
