After reading the other review that totally thrashed this excellent piece of film i felt i just had to write one.
This is really an excellent piece of film. Easily one of the best films of 2003.
It's about a group of boys in an Irish Reformatory School in 1939 who one days gets a new teacher who opposes the violent and harsh ways the "brothers" use to dicipline the boys.
The performances are more than excellent, and the young characters are played out so well by the boys.
If you haven't seen this wonderful film, do so right now! It has recently been released on DVD in Scandinavia. So there's no excuse now.
