Reviews
Load of rubbish!!
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
