Review by Tomoyo

4.7 / 5

Before seeing the film I've thought it wouldn't be so good. So, when I saw it the first time I was really surprised. I haven't expect they would stayed so close to the book. It was really fantastic, I could feel I was reading the book again. I think the best actors are Georgie and Jim Broadbent. I felt identified with Susan but I understand that what happens to her in LB is the same what's happening to most of adolescent girls today. I'm very impatient about PC, I want to see it now. But if we have to wait it's because they're really making an effort to do it great.
