Just seen the film (odd the delay in release over here in UK).
As usual, it isnt on a par with the book but very well done none the less. I think that you are so immersed in the emotions and relationship of the man and boy that only a book can give full impact.
Excellent, despite the few little changes, not the usual rewrite for film.
It isnt a film for the masses (I already heard some inane statements from people who saw it and didnt 'get it'), but those who read this site are 'special'
