First of all, "we didn't really care for it" This was written by one man, so that "we" needs to be replaced with an "I".

Secondly, unless he was at a TOTALLY different screening to the gala night I was at, or the Press & Industry screening the producers were at, I don't understand where the there was a "lukewarm reception" ??? Could you please tell everybody Kevin???? The situation was in the press & industry screening ended on applause, not a usual thing for P&I screenings.

As for the GALA night. The standing ovation, the tears and grateful audience members I spoke to didn't feel very "Lukewarm". The film sold to every territory while at the festival, not bad for Lukewarm tosh. It really annoys me when critics, when no real qualifications are needed to be one, can type and say whatever they want about something, that if they had ever managed to do themselves, would understand how unhelpful incorrect and misleading reviews and comments can damage a persons livelihood.

It is extremely ignorant of someone to write in this way and perhaps for a website to air it. I honestly don't mind people disliking my film, I'm not stupid and understand that it won't be to everyone's taste. But at least have the decency to be honest and impartial with the facts. If Kevin didn't like it that's fine, if he wants to write about it, that's also fine. However, the correct term should be, "It had a lukewarm reception from me, Kevin" And not the lie that's written above.

I'm quite prepared to listen or debate with Kevin or any one else from the site who chose to write the above article.
