- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Although it is extremely well made, I frankly don't understand what the shouting is about. Good, yes; great, no."
-
"A movie that, with the help of Vangelis Papathanassiou's wonderfully stirring music, lifts the spirits to a new high."
-
"An overblown piece of self-congratulatory emotional manipulation perfectly suited for Thatcherite liberals."
