A real gritty British film , slow moving but that is the point , this is not a story about fast paced action, but about relationships in a modern world where physically seeing someone is often not reality.

Moving between scenes you do have to pay attention but this film achieves this really well and the direction is excellent. Our characters are built up gradually throughout the film and you begin to like parts of them , whilst becoming annoyed about some of their characteristics during other scenes.

You will think you know what is going on and I do enjoy second guessing these types of films , but this comes straight out of left field and I genuinely believe you won't see it coming.

Do watch the whole film , it is very good.

After a fairly slow start, this film opens up into a stylish, pretty slick thriller, it does have some intense, dramatic scenes.

The acting ranges from decent to excellent, the standout of course is Joanne Froggatt, she never disappoints.

It's funny how technology changes so quickly, that's about the only thing that dates the film a little, the story is fresh.

Not a film I'd rush to watch again, but as a one off viewing, I would very much recommend it. 7/10.

... the reality is much more weird than this movie.

Of course I had to do the research after watching the movie to read about the real case in Vanity Fair (the article can still be found on the internet). Fascinating stuff and much more complicated than the events that are described in this movie. Yes, the filmmakers did a good job converting this internet-drama for the screen, but I can only advice everyone to check out the facts. Much more thrilling than the fictional approach and much more unbelievable.

Still a movie to think about for a while.

Good actors and a good way to show internet-chats on the screen. I guess that was the hardest part in making this movie. And the choice they made in presenting these chats was well done.

If you are doing a bit of reading to see if this film is worth watching then I strongly recommend that you avoid reviews with spoilers. If you find out how this film turns out at the end it will ruin the film for you, and it would be such a waste, as it is a great little film.

Set in North London in 2003 the film is based on a true story, and an amazing story it is as well. The story is told efficiently. This production is concisely directed, neatly edited and nicely shot. The two main characters Mark and John are convincingly acted by Jamie Blackley and Toby Regbo respectively. They are 16 year old schoolboys at what looks like a comprehensive school.

You will find yourself immersed in their teenage world, in particular in Mark's online world, chatting with several different young women. How powerful that world is for him and what power they have over him.

These Internet chat sessions are portrayed very well. The characters speak what is being written, mimicking the voicing in Mark's head as he reads and writes.

You will be captivated by this film. But don't read about it online anymore or you risk spoiling it, instead go now and watch the film!

I liked this film although it only had an average of 6.2 (April 2014). As this was loosely based on a true story, I was interested to see the outcome of this film having not previously read or heard of this case.

The ending was a complete surprise (to me at least!) and well worth a watch on that basis alone.

The two main actors were surprisingly good, I hadn't heard of them before but would watch them in future films based on their performances in this.

This would never be a Top 10 film for anyone I wouldn't imagine but if your looking for something to watch on Netflix, there are far worst films you could spend your time on.
