Superb 5 Stars!

GStar1977 from from Glasgow, 15th November, 2007

I went to see this film in the cinema and was taken back with how great it was. This film is based on a true story about a young man's life after he graduates from College and decides to go travelling. The film jumps back and forth between his childhood and his travels and is told from his sister's point of view, but is not confusing in the way it is done. The storyline captures you and the directorship from Sean Penn is superb. I would be very surprised if Sean Penn doesn't not receive an Oscar nomination for this film as it was truely outstanding!

Very important film

Ravi Mulchandani from London, England, 19th February, 2008

The film takes you down a journey to mankind's enchanting prehistory. We switch between the beauty of the wilderness and the urban and travelling life. A story of struggle with oneself, others and the beauty of that struggle. Very moving.

Marmite

sparks64 from from Dunmow, 7th August, 2008

As you can see from other reviews it's a love it or hate it. Half way through I was ready to turn off but I kept with it. If you want action and a story/plot line you'll be dissappointed but this is a thought provoking film which will stay with you long after the creditis have rolled. The impact is increased by the fact that this is a 'true story'. Sound track is interesteing esp if you have previosly listened to any Pearl Jam and the cinematography is excellent.

Rubbish

Maddawg from from Crickhowell, 7th August, 2008

This film hurt me, inside.... it was really slow all the way through and yes it had a storyline but they didnt utilize it whatsoever. At times it was ok in terms of being interesting but the majority of the film was very dreary.
