Ratings and reviews

Man, did that film take me by surprise! At times, it felt like a passionate pamphlet, yet it managed to lift my spirits as well. Should be made mandatory viewing for a couple a-holes at my work place. Spectacularly relevant!

Such an amazing movie. Shows what we're doing wrong in this world. Just makes me want to improve myself and the person I'll become!

It's a definite change of view movie, very good. Watch this then The Road and it makes for a very sad dark sequel.
