2.5 out of 10 Grace, yes, but not Amazing
Les from Dublin, 20 Apr 2008
This is an interesting historical account - though I can't vouch for its accuracy. Good costumes, good acting, in fact a good all round period piece - but it did lack something. The emotive value of this particular subject matter should leave you feeling like you've been punched in the gut, but this film never made the most of its opportunities. Entertaining, watchable, but soon forgotten. Oh, and the schmultzy 20th century bagpipes at the end should have been left on the cutting room floor!

3.5 out of 10 Something we should all warch
jonathan from Offaly, 24 Jul 2007
An amazing story of how Lord Wilbeforce helped the end of slavery in the commonwealth. Good acting, great cast and a fascinating story of how a quirky young friend of the youngest prime minister ever in the UK, transformed the minds of cynical front and back benchers who were vested in the abuse of vulnerable africans. Ironic how true the story is today in relation to cheap and slave labour across the globe. The people of the day stopped taking sugar in their tea as a repost, for us.........

1.5 out of 10 Amazing Grace.
caroline from Wexford, 08 May 2008
Don't bother. Ihad been waiting for this dvd for months and couldn't wait to watch it. While the true story behind the film was very sad and some parts of the movie upsetting I would be pushed to recommend this dvd.

What's it about....
Amazing Grace is the incredible true story of William Wilberforce, who tirelessly led the campaign to abolish slavery in Britain. At a time when the slave trade was not only perceived as acceptable but as a necessity for the economy, Wilberforce and his fellow abolitionists dared to speak out against a massive injustice, fighting long and hard for the freedom of others.
