Ah being an atheist some of the meaning has gone over my head. I've only just googled what Calvary means, so I now see that there's a little bit of a Jesus thing going on with the story, or it seems that way to me. And possibly why it's released at Easter time.

I had to google it too. If they had called it Golgotha, it might have meant a bit more to me.

I thought it was quite a good film! It was nice to see Beate and OH. I think OH nodded off as soon as the film started! I heard Beate telling him to stop snoring!! I didn't know you'd dozed too, Beate! I said bye when it ended, but had to rush off as I was meeting my kids who treated me to Wimpy for Mother's Day!!
LOL, yes I did - didn't think anyone heard that!

Have you never heard of the phrase "the road to Calvary"?

No. That expression must be very British.

Absolutely loved it - just about the most gripping film I've seen in ages. Here's my full thoughts:
