A VERY thought provoking film. This is by far the best film I have watched in years, and since watching this I have gone on to read the books and the manga. I found that this film also has a much deeper meaning, involving trust and the bond between friends and classmates. As some may descibe, it is a 'what would I do if...?' film. Beautiful storyline with unexpected twists and turns, though it may disturb some people, it is truly an example of film brilliance with wonderful actors and brilliance behind the scenes, this really is a film for everyone...oer the age of 18 of course.
