Anything that publicises a film like this, with its pertinent but unpoupular message, is welcome. And Shiroma’s review more than does that.
I don’t think of it as including ‘spoilers’; rather, what is written entices one to go to the film and see how
the themes emerge and have been cinematically dealt with.
‘Mob mentality’ and ‘blind finger pointing’… We see it in abundance all around us, and I don’t just mean post-Jimmy Savile! It only takes someone to mutter a name and the word ‘paedophilia’, and no matter how lacking the evidence his reputation is in tatters. In no time, the empty accusations, the derogatory emails and phone calls, the whispers of ‘there must be something in it’, begin…
Perhaps we’re all prone to these easy and lazy judgments. Which makes this review all the more commendable, and the film itself all the more worth heeding.
