Movie seems good , my suggestion is dont watch it from google play i m wasting the past one hour trying to play it .. selected offline viewing in nexus tab, now the tab is not playing it and cant play it on the web too .. nexus 7 sucks big time , totally spoiled the viewing experience

Excellent movie. Great story. One of those movies that when I left the theater I took a deep breath and it felt good. If you know what I mean. Movie about life. Had no clue what it was when I went to see it.

I absolutely love this movie! As things go the book is of course better and they changed and few things from the book they didn't need to but this movie takes ahold of you and makes you feel.
