REVIEW
+ A film that most people assumed was doomed never to see the light of day, but it made it, and it was good! It was also very brave to keep an image of Heath Ledger being hung in there too. +
+ As most people are expecting, Heath Ledger is very good in his (sob) final ever role. He's actually in about 80% of the movie though. +
+ The way that the character keeps changing appearance actually does work perfectly. +
+ Absolutely brimming with originality and wonderful images. +
+ The story was good, though took a bit of a while to get going. But when you realise something about one of the characters, it does start to get a lot more interesting. +
+ Feels ultimately very British, and is better for it. +
+ All the supporting cast are excellent too. +
- The music was completely forgettable, which is a shame. -
- Towards the end, it did get a bit too weird. -
- The story got a bit muddled sometimes. -

BEST MOMENT
I think my favourite part was the Jude Law segment, just some really fantastic imagery.
