Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

ericville62 Warning, have a box of tissues handy! Outstanding, well made movie!

aileenmcl Best film I have seen in years - not usually inspired to write reviewsGenuine - observant - considered - human - respectful - slow enough to focus on what really matters - exposes some of our modern attitudes for their shallowness and small mindedness. Sometimes you have to slow down and enter into someone else's world to see the value in it.A triumph for the value of individual action - what you do in the world matters - even if it seems to go unnoticed.Brilliant acting, directing, music... Brilliant all round! Only heard about it after I asked a film buff relative for her top 5 films of 2015 This was her number one - I agree!!

akcampbell-1 Loved this film until the bus accident, I couldn't take it seriously after that. A bus knocks somebody down and kills them in the UK for every 27 million miles travelled. How likely is it that somebody as meticulous as John May would be standing there at the time? 66% of people in the UK don't believe in ghosts, so like me they won't buy into the final scene. Take the ghosts away and all you are left with is a cruel irony, a lonely man spends his life trying to get people to care enough to go to the funerals of other socially isolated people who died alone, probably because of his fear of this happening to him, and then nobody goes to his. I watched a beautifully acted, nuanced, poignant film for 1 hour 20 minutes followed by a load of rubbish for the last 10 minutes. Don't think I've ever been so disappointed by the ending of a film.

Gary Run (ipswichtown) Wow! for me this is the best film for many a year in this genre.it's slow in pace,but realistically this is the point (for me anyway) of the movie..when talking in the themes mentioned here...loneliness and lack of love...life can often feel still.. The music as always by Rachel portman is incredible,she always manages to deliver with her score.Eddie Marsan is perfectly cast as a man lonely and wanting to do something caring and worthwhile in his still life...And the chemistry between his character and Joanne Froggatt is excellent and realistically pulled off...better than anything nominated for an Oscar of that year...it really is beautifully done and with a lovely uplifting ending...it's a perfect emotional British film.
