I love true stories & appeals to me as I help with local homeless charity. Can be harrowing in parts due to the main characters sometimes reckless lifestyle but also very moving & played so well by Tom Hardy, probably as you have never seen him before. Great cast & true to the book which I read a few months back. Also has great interviews with cast & the real writer of the book but if you are looking for a happy ending be prepared if you have not already read the book. Personally I love this film as it shows just how hard it is for some people to adapt after life on the streets.

This is great and really makes you think. It is always difficult to balance inclusion with impact and time constraints, but this does admirably well. Tom Hardy in particular did a first rate job as Stuart and Benedict Cumberbatch also as his long-suffering biographer. Ultimately, because of the ending and the treatment of Stuart and others, this film (and book) may have been depressing, but the humour pulls it through. My fervent wish is for the powers that be to watch this, read, and take action to eradicate as much as they can of this perennial shame on any decent society. Very highly recommended, but, as always, read the book first if you can.

Great film. This is based on a true story. Tom portrays Stuart well, depth to the character. Really sad but informative and a good example of what can happen to somebody after they have suffered abuse and addiction without a support network around you. A must watch

A thoughtful film based on true story of Stuart. Issues sensitively dealt with but unforgiving in places. Educational as well as entertaining.
