AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Poignant and one of the most moving films I have ever seen; How proud Ken Loach must be of his brilliant son. Has Emily Watson been better? How could one fail to be moved by such a heart rending story; A worthy tale but main character a bit bland. The kind of film shown on Channel 5 in the afternoons.
