OK I think this is a very mediocre movie. After hearing great things on the radio and TV and mentions of nominations, we watched this with great expectations. Sadly, i cant understand how its rated so well. It just didn't click with me at all. Thought it was pretty predictable and so it lacked depth. I even found myself tuning out. Most of the acting was fine to good just didn't think the story was good enough. The young lad was fine at acting but the character was just not great. I didn't connect with the character or acting. It was just a wishy washy insipid type of experience. Maybe its because it came along with some other good films and I thought how is it even being mentioned! Just one of those I don't see what others see! Husband thought it was poor too. Surely were not the only ones!! lol
