I am sorry, this film just didn't do it for me. I can't tell you how disappointed I was after seeing it on a "Most Disturbing" list and then watching it. There are only two "shocking" scenes and they are not that shocking to be honest. People talk about the realism and sure it looks fairly realistic, but that isn't hard to do when you don't show much or the scene is so dark that you can barely make out more than silhouettes. If you want to be "shocked", then pass on this film. It isn't really a bad film per se- just not what it is advertised as. Wow, I need two more lines- fine. 99.9% of the movie is about an idiotic, annoying protagonist- partying, acting the fool, or on a mission for "revenge". The whole situation occurs because he is a selfish oaf and then his actions following (or in the manner the film is shot, preceding) the situation.

Everything about this show was great- the writing, the casting, the story, and, of course, Cat Stevens! This is one of the most uplifting stories ever. This is a story about life, love, and learning to love life, yourself, and others. It is about learning to grab life with both hands and experiencing as much as you can. The beginning is a little slow. There is nothing flashy at all about this movie. It is as straightforward as Maude. Unfortunately I have a feeling that the story would be lost on today's youth which is a true shame. This movie got me through some of my lowest points in life. It is tied with The Wall for my all-time favorite movie which is interesting because one would be hard-pressed to find two such diametrically opposed films. This is a "must see". If your spirit is in need of being lightened, then this is your movie. It delivers its message without being sappy, trite or overly sentimental.
