A rollercoaster of emotions An impossible tightrope but they did well. Oh dear! Brilliantly acted and filmed. Complex depths. Moral without moralising. Rollercoaster of emotions - could have ended either way. Sobering. Excessive, fun and dangerous. Why could I not have had a teacher like that!! Most enlightening and enjoyable Most insightful and sensitive. Brilliant. Great acting. Food for thought. Quite gripping. Poignant. So many questions…. Difficult if one had alcoholism experience. Bit unsettling and quite disturbing. A profoundly powerful and moving film and a wonderful exploration of male friendship. I’m not off to have a drink. Consistently engaging. Lighting not the best. A sad film in many way. Not very convincing but interesting in bits.
