Anyone seen the film?

I read the book, it is very moving - and I wondered if the film did it justice.

I've just been lent the book about to start it now, have been thoroughly recommended it as a great read.

Unfortunately I never read the book but thought the film was stunning and very moving, some of my friends who had read the book before watching the film thought it really did it justice and the only film they have seen that is as good as the book it is based on.
Definately worth going to see.

Bump I know, but I thought that if you had not seen this film then you should. Very moving, great acting, and a great film by all accounts smile

Read the book a year or so ago then saw the film six months later. I think the film was ok but didn't do justice to the book.
