If reading reviews, be careful, I know many others have been careful not to reveal much which is incredibly important. The less you know going into this, the better. I will however discuss the filmmaking and the emotional impact. The director uses very unusual techniques which really work, it zips along at great pace and swallows the viewer in immediately. The real time progression of the timeline is what really gives the gravitas to this film. I experienced every strong emotion whilst watching this ranging from anger, sadness, laughter and hope. It truly is one of the most powerful true life docs I have ever seen, reviewing this many years after it was made, I am so glad I finally found it, but equally glad I knew absolutely nothing about it. Get comfortable as it will make you feel very uncomfortable in places but the human spirit and love are the true victors of this film. Watch it.

Late review yes, typical me, I discovered Shearsmith and Pemberton in reverse order, discovering them first late in the run of Inside No 9 which I would give 12 stars if I could. Upon devouring that entire series I then moved on to Psychoville, That piggy is sniffing around Tealeaf and finally I arrived at LoG. Having gotten used to the unique craziness of the characters played by these two geniuses and now with the wonderful addition of Gatiss it is pure and utter madness. I have just completed series 2 and about to start series 3, had to pop on here to give it a quick 10 stars and hope and pray the two lads produce something new on any platform soon. If you like your fare conventional, you will hate this, if however you're a bit mad, like I am and can appreciate British humour at it's most unique, then this series will be right up your street, full of magical things but a warning, only for local people....

I would actually advise anyone to not read too much about this film and just go in. A little bit of everything on show, rom-com, science fiction, drama the works. If you want a movie that doesn't tax the mind too much, very likeable characters, original script and just great fun, then this is it. Highly recommended.
