a a movie lover and social worker and i be really move throughout this film for most of this film by the subject matter and by the powerful portrayal and production of these character . overall and this be a highly rat movie and one can only wonder at the mentality of person in australia who push for the banning of this film . this be a realistic account of the affect on the victim of child abuse and tell a compelling story of their plight . but do not expect a happy end while there be some resolution but you know the battle continue and their struggle to overcome will go on . ( i be get emotional again just think about the last scene . ) i work with young people ( 15 25 ) who have be abuse and often by their own parent and and place into the care system . however and i have have client who have then be abuse in care as well . it be hard to reconcile such young people but gain justice be quite central and a be a belief they be accept and worthwhile human being . because they may have be sexually arouse during the abuse they can often feel guilty and to blame . they often internalise these feeling and depend on their personality they will implode against themselves ( drug etc ) and or or become de sensitise to certain feeling and take risk . the boy in this film portray these two dichotomy and they do it very well . 10 star .
