I sure did. That's probably what gave me that headache as I was trying to peer over tall lady and even taller guy in front of her.

Must say, these Jameson events really fill out, don't they?
The queues were insanely long and the corridors ridiculously overcrowded.

However, it did look like they had 2 screenings going on in two separate galleries.

Free drinks enjoyed, and the film wasn't too shabby either.

Quite an unassuming little gem if I say so myself.
8/10

Film wasn't my type of deal, the seats were, erm, painful, and the room very stuffy. I felt sick for the final half of the film, just, those seats. My word.

This is the second time I q-ed up for a Jamieson Cult Film Club - the first experience wasn't particularly pleasant as we didn't make the cut. More delightful outcome this time around. Plus a further bonus - free booze!

I wasn't aware that the producer and a couple of cast members were present before arriving, and was quite pleasantly surprised. The film is of the dark humour genre with some fairly graphical scenes. There are some unexplained (or dare I say, not very logical) parts of the storyline / plot, leaving me wanting more of a closure to these loose ends. I suppose some of these loose ends I sense may well be covered in the book itself, but couldn't fully be adapted to a film. Still, overall, I find it interestingly refreshing and a joy to watch. 75% score from me.

Only (other) complain I have - while Saatchi Gallery is a fine establishment and art gallery, didn't think it was a particularly suitable venue for the film as reading the subtitles was a slight challenge given the level seating.

Have to agree here and with the previous poster.
Extremely unconfortable and rather stuffy... Wonder what the logic was in holding a screening in a venue not really geared up for something like this.

Had a really good time tonight, but I was lucky enough to grab a couple front row seats after giving it a shot much further back. It was impossible to see from back there and I have no idea how anyone managed.
102 Different free films seen in 2010 plus 2 repeat viewings and a few tv show screenings... not too shabby. Thanks to everyone for their contributions here.

Is it part or all subtitled, let me know as I will need to sit close to screen if it is. Forewarned is forearmed

I would guess all. It's a Norwegian flick, with Norwegian dialogue.
