One can so easily see the story's twists and resolution so long before they come.

It mainly holds one's interest because the story is so oddly told.

As usual, compelling, kinetic direction from Winterbottom, kind of a dull script. Though what he was thinking with those ugly filters I will never guess. Enjoyable, but not his best work.

Gorgeous colours and a fascinating snapshot of 90's UK but falls a little short of great.

Impressive performances esp the Mute Boy. It's unfortunate that one can so easily see the story's twists and resolution so long before they come
