I in no way want to detract from what was a wonderful film marked by some terrific acting, particularly from Steven Robertson who steals every scene as Michael. However my only grievance is that the lead performances were both performed by able bodied actors. There is a great pool of untapped talent amongst disabled actors and there are very few roles considered suitable for them, I would have thought this was the perfect opportunity for the casting director to make use of this. Does anybody know whether disabled actors were originally considered for the roles or whether it was logistically difficult for such a casting?
