| User Reviewralph wA snapshot in the life of a school in England which deals with behaviourally challenged children. This doco doesn't make any judgments on the children or the adults who, with Job-like patience, are entrusted with their care. There are small triumphs in amongst the tantrums, screaming, spitting and tears and it is these small moments that stay with you. You cannot help but be drawn into the lives of these children and one of the final scenes of young Alex, as he is told he is moving up a class, shows such unfettered joy, that it makes the journey worthwhile. |
| User ReviewAndrea GAnother movie documentary worth seeing. Another couple of kids worth their spotlight. It's good but as I read in another review - the camera is there in their lifes but there's no deepth, no closure in the kids stories and so on. It's laking alot but it's still worth seeing. |
