The director set out to create a different kind of movie or documentary if you prefer and I think he really succeeded. Whilst a little confusion in parts as you try to get your head around the juxtaposition of real people, actors and the made up characters, overall I think he tells a complex tale well and with compassion for all concerned. Maybe it was all worthwhile to get a crack at kissing lead girl, maybe he just needs to become a doctor, either way I feel sorry for Brandon today who's life seems on hold and probably needn't be? It was also a shame to hear about the Head, what a nice inspirational man he appeared to be. For me, one of the highlights of the film was the way it showed the camaraderie of the old students who seem at ease together today as 30 or so years ago, and how nice to learn about the posh bit of Glasgow, makes a nice change from stories about the projects.
