Avis à la une
I watched this film for the first time on Polish TV last night, and it blew me away.
I've been an admirer of Steven Mackintosh's performances for many years, but this is his tour-de-force.
Like many people director Antonia Bird caught my attention in 1994 when Bird was premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival.
Together Bird and Mackintosh, well supported by an excellent cast, create a harrowing, shocking and nerve-shattering drama that only us Brits could make with such brutal honesty.
Well done all of you involved. 10/10

This movie is a must see for anyone who appreciates no-bulls**t straight to the point story-telling and great acting. An unbelievable performance by Steven Macintosh who is IMHO one of the best British actors. Hollywood should take lessons out of British movies and tv-series. One of the best things ever seen on television!

This movie is very difficult to watch, but it ought to be seen by everyone. It's hard to believe such evil people exist, that would treat kids like this. But they do. And the rest of us, the society, we fail in helping the abused because we don't want to know what's going on. The acting is very good in general, but Macintosh is simply brilliant!

I am not sure what the previous reviewer meant by saying that something in this film was amusing. Amusing it is not. But it grabs you and pulls you in and you can't stop watching. Steven Mackintosh is superb and his last scene was so sad. The loyal strength of his girlfriend is also immensely touching.
Quite a number of important points are made about problems like child abuse. The most important is the way lawyers and insurance companies can push an organisation into a cover-up. Another is that, hard as this might be to accept, Davey and the others would have been better off if the case had never been investigated. It is giving evidence and not being believed which pushes him to the edge, not the original abuse. A terrible dilemma.

Hi this was the best thing I've watched I was only 10 when I watched this with my mum who's suddenly passed so I'm desperate to find the song at the end of the movie she loved it and I would like to listen and I would really love to watch it again but seems impossible ? Please help.
