Review

I went to see this as part of the London Film Festival on Monday. I have to say that two days later it still resonates in my mind. Yes it's a common tale that has been told in cinema before(man is wrongly accused and ostracised) but never so well in my eyes. The acting is first class with no exception and the cinematography is perfect creating a tense mood throughout the film. It's not for the faint hearted but I think it's an important subject matter and very current. I've often wondered what it must be like for someone wrongly accused of such a crime and the hysteria that surrounds it. I have read reviews that say this is unrealistic but I don't agree I only have to look on my own front doorstep in England to see exactly the same sort of behaviour often far far more intense.

I highly recommend it.
