Good.

I'm not sure I could say I enjoyed watching this film, "enjoy" is definitely the wrong word - it's like saying you enjoyed Schindler's List. There's no way you can watch this film with enjoyment but you can appreciate it as a good film well made. But the tone and subject of the film definitely preclude enjoyment.

I wish the DVD case had been a more accurate representation of the film, I do agree with some of the other messages on this board that the film is marketed wrongly. Particularly as I have depression and suicidal thoughts myself, a bit of warning about the true nature of this film would have been more helpful. For starters I would have kept it for a time I was feeling better than I was. But that's not a criticism of the film itself and is a little unfair to bring it up here.

If I were to criticise the film, my biggest gripe would be James Lance's character. I'm not complaining about James Lance's performance or the story of his character, just in the way it was told. Being as it was entirely shown from his brother's p.o.v., it was entirely his borther's story whereas I feel that the more interesting story was one we were only watching from the sidelines. Also, we didn't really get to know Chris as a character and so everytime he appeared on screen it was, for me, a case of being very aware of watching James Lance acting - not of the character. We were watching James Lance playing a deaf, autistic man; we weren't watching Chris. If that makes sense.

But as I say, it was a good film. Just let down by the advertising.
