• Best film I have seen on the subject of child abuse
  I have never seen a film which so well captures the terror that is in the heart of a child who lives in fear of an adult caretaker. The director has worked a miracle here. She has enabled us to see the world through the eyes of an abused child, and it is not easy to watch, but it is essential viewing for all who want to understand child abuse.

• Hollow Reed
  Warm and touching,proving that gay fathers do have many fears in countries that are bigotted against them, but the strenth of this father overcomes the fears and makes him a stonger person for protecting his son. It is a postive look at gay life you won't regret seeing it
