CGiii Comment

This is a very difficult film to watch.

Sentiments fly all over the place - with inherited discriminations...the ignorance towards mental disability and the devastating effects of loneliness...a power keg of emotion.

This film may leave you confused.

Throw that confusion away - try to feel what these characters feel and that reality, in itself, will gnaw away until you relapse in to an empathetic coma.

You will be moved in ways that will be strange and memorable.

Quite, quite astounding.

Vallois - a thoroughly well-deserved...respect.
