Konterr Brilliant and touching
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Charlie Moss I've just watch this movie. I was rather shocked that such a documentary could be made so one sided. It is literally based on the opinions of two people that blame others for their own actions and failures. From what I have read about Sheela, she was more "fifteen lives for one ours" than the innocent victim and gentle sole reflected by the interviews. The director must have had personal issue with his man to have been able to create such a subjective not objective film. I was hoping the film would give me a better insight yet I was left feeling I was not give the true story. I was very disappointed by the poor standard of journalism.
