The film had a limited UK released and didn’t do very well at the box office, yet how did it win so many awards?

The film was promoted by having it’s own facebook page which provides people with all the information that they want to know about the film, and gives them a chance to write on the facebook wall about what they think about the film and see what others have said about it.

The film, as far as I know, was only advertised really via the internet meaning it has a limited audience. This could be because it was aiming at an older audience of 18+, due to the rating and the themes you can pick up on the trailer.

People can view the film through renting from places such as blockbuster or lovefilm.com, or they can purchase the film from such places as play.com, amazon, hmv. You could stream online or buy the DVD/Blu-ray.
