I just couldn't get into it. Gave up at about 25%. It was very boring and nothing ever happened. So depressing!

Ok ok so it got nominated for a bunch of awards. Really though what on earth did I just watch it was depressing from start to finish.
Nothing moves forward, he doesn't overcome anything he starts as an alcoholic and finishes as one.
I seriously see absolutely no point in this!

Not Simon Green's best work, although it does have it's moments. I have to say: I also found the opening chapter rather depressing!

"God, I love this book. It's the history of an utterly depressing war with no real nobility, that ultimately descends into cannibalism. Right up my alley."

I did not relate to this novel at all. I found it sterile and devoid of any suspense despite the dramatic nature of the story. Cold and depressing.

Deeply affecting and relentlessly depressing, The Souvenir may be a movie I never want to watch again, but I'm glad I watched it once.
