Review of Slumdog Millionaire

A visual wonder from start to finish, this family film of shocking brutality, a romance haunted by sexual abuse and a fantasy of wealth fueled by crashing poverty is worth a watch.  It has been reviewed by many as a modern fairy tale and with its gaudy rush of colour and kinetic editing, it pulled on all my heart-strings.  The way Danny Boyle giddily bounces between past and present captivated deep emotions.
