thats not necessarily a bad thing, I dont think theres a film out there that will capture the whole story from the perspective of a child ?

Life Is Beautiful comes pretty close to capturing a concentration camp themed movie through the eyes of a child, worth seeing if you haven't already.It will make you bawl your eyes out.

The Wackness was good. Distant at first but it really got in to the depth of the main characters. Brought me back to my teens, all those many years ago. Go & see it if you have a chance.
We saw Get Smart sfterwards, you should have come along...

Thanks for that, i will go and see it, to be honest i go to see everything!
I am completely ashamed to admit i saw wild child at the weekend and i loved it - am i sad or what ?! I saw Get Smart last week but i wasn't all that impressed. Then again, I wasn't a big fan of the tv show either so i should have known what i was letting myself in for.
By the way, ur a bit of an expert, any opinions on that new irish film 32A or have you seen it? Thanks!

This film is unbelievable. You know in This is England when Milky gets beaten to within an inch of his life. It feels like that throughout this whole movie. It was an amazing night altogether.

was a fantastic movie. i am possibly one of only 3 people who haven't read the book - but know all about it from my wife who sobbed like a baby whilst reading it. but i found the movie profound, moving, and yet subtle - it kept things very innocent with just hints at the horrors happening around them.
my wife is polish and comes from lublin, which had a death camp (which has been preserved) that i have visited - sobering stuff especially standing in the "showers"....and to see it portrayed in this way - through the eyes of a child was powerful.
met rupert friend and the main man himself - signed the book for my wife, lovely guy.
anyways - thanks for the tickets - great night.

What....no "Tuberty in racist slur" headline this morning.
Thanks once again to Movies.ie for what could seriously have been the best premier yet. the tension in he savoy last night was amazing. The complete silence at the very end of the movie while all the credits rolled was something I had never experienced before and really symbolised the effect the movie has on you and the respect for the seriousness of the subject matter.
I hadn't read the book either and in fact knew very little about the movie before seeing it last night, so had no idea what to expect. I thought the movies was really well made and superbly acted, I particularly liked the fact that everything was viewed from the innocence of childs eyes, despite the fact that we knew better.....mad the topic all that more touching.
Excellent film, please go see it.

Last night was my first ever movie premiere and I have to say it was an amazing experience. I absolutely loved the film. Very thought-provoking and powerful stuff. The cast were all superb. At the start I felt a bit disconnected from the period due to the English accents and language, but it didn't take long to become completely absorbed in the story. The way the tension kept building up to the end had me on the edge of my seat, having never read the book. I've never seen an audience so engrossed and still during a movie. And the ending was completely devastating. Listening to the director and the author speaking and mingling with the celebrities was a real treat.
Thank you so much movies.ie!
