It is one of those films that you really feel for the characters. Its story is very engaging, heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I heard a lot about this film before. People kept saying it was one of the best films they have ever seen. While I cannot say the same, it is certainly a ... film I am glad to have seen now. Would I watch it again? Probably not, wouldn’t want to stress myself that much again. Would I make my friends watch it? Yes to that.
