Excellent movie, found it very atmospheric, brutal in its recreation of events, The topic of the movie has been covered a few times in English speaking movies, but for me this is the best, even if slightly incorrect in the scenes in which the two main characters commit suicide, they in fact did not die together, but did both kill themselves. This is the only movie to actually use St Cyril’s for filming, having since visited Prague and St Cyril’s, I appreciate this movie even more.

No matter the vehicle, Timothy Spalls acting will get it to its destination, outstanding performance by him again. Lovely movie, showing the good and bad of society, happily this shows mostly the good. Really enjoyed the ensemble cast of Scottish TV actors too, Being a big fan of Spall and Scottish film making, it was a joy.
