Great Film, 31 January 2004
8/10
Author: gerrymcd from Dundalk, Ireland

As an n irish person i was expecting a bad film with joel shumacher directing but this is a great film.

great because of the way veronica dedicated her life to something that was right.

cate blanchet is superb and its sad that it took her death for the irish gorvernment to do something.

an inspirational Film 8/10
