5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, 2 Feb 2006
By A Customer
I cannot believe the critics slated this film. I found the acting and the direction amazing. The film is true to the book and in the same way although it is about subjects that are both upsetting and difficult to deal with it leaves you with a feeling of hope. I think it paints the picture extremely vividly and whilst you could never agree with Sarah's treatment of JT you do gain an understanding of why she is the way she is, as she is the product of a very troubled past which has obviously done irrepairable damage. It also manages to portray the love JT has for Sarah despite everything and the way he wants to protect her even though it is she who should have been protecting him. It leaves you with the sense that even though JT had to struggle through great adversity he came through it and not only survived but is a strong and very special person because of it. It is a harsh look at a reality most of us are lucky to never have to be a part of but it is dealt with in a way which whilst telling the story openly doesn't glorify or relish in the ugliness of the situations. That is why I recommend you should see this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Leroy or not.. this is awesome, 31 Dec 2006
By H. A. Ellis "couplandfan" (newcastle, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
whether or not the author is a hoax is irrelevant.. film makers don't come along like this everyday.. asia argento is amazing, both as an actress and a director.. i truely believed that she could ahve been in the situations her character was in.

and mad respect for the kids who played jeremiah.. those twins aren't going 2 be known as 'ben' from friends if they continue to put in performances like this..

highly recommended!!!

roll on sarah!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 26 Mar 2006
Although very gritty and unsettling subjects, I feel this film should be praised for the way Asia Argento deals with it. Both as a director and as Sarah, Argento is stunning beyond words.Heartbreaking, the film shows JTs undying devotion to his mother even though she cruel beyond words. However, the film never judges, only portrays why Sarah is who she is and why things happen to JT. It really is a unique portrayal of life that still happens and I strongly recommend it.
