My wife insisted on picking what we watched on Netflix instant last night. She chose this film because she'd seen it before and wanted me to see it. I must say she made a good choice. It's a touching story fueled by strong performances from James McAvoy and Stephen Robertson. Playing a disabled person whether it be mental or physical is always tricky, but these two pull it off especially Robertson. Giving a great performance when you play a character who suffers from cerebral palsy and can't speak well couldn't of been an easy task. McAvoy's character talks a lot of shit for someone in a wheelchair and he's often very funny. The relationship between these two and their hand…

Just as moving, powerful, funny, touching, and heartbreaking as it was when I first watched it. James McAvoy gives one of his best performances (maybe even his best). Steven Robertson is very believable and even terrific. Romola Garai is as great as she is stunning. The three work off of each other so well and make for some great moments. Everytime I watch this, I feel inspired and it makes me think about life. Themes of love, dignity, life, craving for independence, and freedom still seem so loud and speak loud volumes. Such a powerful, heartwrenching, and funny film that is a must see.

The first movie of James McAvoy I watched and I love it. The story is simply about 2 friends with their "special needs"--fighting for their right to life as a normal people. The fun, the sadness really caught my emotion that I burst my tears in the end of the movie. Awesome... *damn,.write this makes me want to see it again,,,,

That's about people who prefer to be unnoticed by the others. About people who just doesn't like to be pitied.
