...and one of the few films that is better than the book. Normally, I hate it when producers switch the action from wherever to The U.S., but here it actually works to the story's advantage, making the distance and the disconnect between the lives of Tom the teacher, growing up on the Norfolk broads, and the working-class Pittsburgh students all the more pronounced.

There are some dazzlingly inventive scenes from director Steven Gyllenhaal (the charabanc trip, for instance) in this dark, twisted tale of love, loss and identity.

Oh. And one of the best shag scenes ever on film.

Loved the book. It fell me in love with the fens. It is a long book, four fifths of it deals with the back-history leading to present day events. The film focusses on the present day stuff with only a crude disneyesque nod to the historical back story. None of the romance, atmosphere, mystery of the book. I will pass it on to Oxfam.

I found the film very powerful. It took a little while to recognise the story from the novel, which I read quite a few years ago. Graham Swift is one of my favourite authors.
