Saw this on Sunday at KMF and thought it was the best film of the weekend (and yes, I voted for it for the People's Choice Award, but to no avail). It had real drama and the arc of the story was well nigh perfect - it was like some Greek legend, with the protagonist's downfall and final redemption (great title by the way). Even the unscripted appearance of DM at the end lent an extra poignancy. You couldn't write a better fictional tale. Recommended!
I saw it on Friday and was very impressed. It must have taken a lot of guts for James to offer himself as he did, and it's a great story, told with considerable honesty and humility. And Caroline comes across as a terrific person.
Just watched it. Lovely film. Personal opinion of JP has risen of course, (not that i think he should give a shit) Was always of the opinion that he was probably a good lad (because he was a Matlock lad) but had ego problems, as I did until..........well....) Loved the love story bit as my mrs hated me when she first met me, so i could totally relate to that! Just, f*cking good on him! Found it maybe even more humbling than that film of Daniel Woods new routing with that Japanese dude. Brilliant, well done to all involved! Would love to know if the 'Urban myth' that James went down Slack Hill ( a big steep hill between Matlock and Chesterfield) on a Micro-Scooter is true.....
