A* for A Level or a very good University film, but not good for this release.

Acting at times is poor. Cinematography lacks finesse. Clunky in places, but for a teenager's film, it is a worthy effort. However, still 2 out of 10. Maybe with the funding in future, he'll turn out good.

Fantastically moving film!

Elliot, what can I say? An excellent film that truly portrays the talent you possess. Your ability to create such a fantastic tribute to your grandparents Charlie and Tup would only have made them proud. I particularly enjoyed the ending and the way you managed to bring to past into the present and the reality that the war and everything we saw in that movie wasn't that long ago. Fantastic work Elliot, keep up the good work and I'll look forward to a starring role in your next movie?!

Made on a shoestring and it shows

The box says the director is the next Spielberg. Well if I were Spielberg I'd sue for defamation of character! This is the worst acting I've ever seen and the directing and production is dire. I paid £3 for this at Asda and it was overpriced! I had to give it 1 star as 0 stars wasn't available. Save your money even if it's only £3!

Get a life

All the haters who have written totally negative reviews need to ask themselves if they or any of the spawn would have been able to do any better at 15 years old. Yes certain actors were wooden but the cinematography was very good imo.

I have no doubt some of the earlier efforts of what are now seen as great, would have been questionable.

GET A LIFE!

Diabolical

I didn't need to hear of the budget this film was put together on. I'd already have been able to guess in the first 10 seconds. The blessing being its only 75 minutes long!
