|I tried to watch this movie this afternoon, but found I was unable to watch it, not because I thought it was no good or anything like that, but because of the theme of the film hit a bit too close to home for me as I am in a similar situation, as the Fast Freddie character, I have been on renal dialysis for the last 17 years and am on my final access. I think any film that can bring home what it is like to be on dialysis can only be good. I wish there were more films like this about. As for the cast what I saw of Lawrence Fox and his transformation for have-it-all yuppie to a caring individual did seem a little unbelievable, but as I said above it was the Fast Freddie character that got my attention, overall I thought it was quite good, and it made a change to see something like kidney failure getting a mention.
