Review of the film
An absolutely amazing film!! An absolute feast for allthe senses. I'd read the book before going to see the film and found the last few chapters dragged on and on.
In contrast, I came out of the cinema with a HUGE smile on my face & felt tingly all over.
I can't recommend this film enough.
MAKE SURE YOU SEE IT AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE YOU DIE!!
