Making £ +++ out of tragedy

To be fair, she's on TV a lot and in the press more. What's wrong with someone else having a say.

Not being insensitive but it’s not the first time a film has been made about a real murder. It’s information in the public domain. You might not agree with it - I don’t - but it’s fair game to make a film.

I may sound controversial, but this film keeps alive the true horror of a child being snatched and killed, and many witnesses did nothing during the hours before he was killed. There has been other films about this so why is this film a problem? Her charity will gain from this.

Can't agree with this film being made .

Disgusting move by the film maker ... how horrendous for the parents. He should have asked. Fukin pond life. Only concern with himself ... zee ego!

This poor mother has been through enough - the film should never have been made. And who would go and see ?

It's all meant to make money off another person's suffering..

James Bulger's parents' 'living nightmare' over Oscar nominated murder movieDenise Fergus is seething with rage after Detainment got a nod in the best live action short category It's truly awful. No consideration for parents emotions . No valid justification for ever using this subject for a film Absolutely disgusting. I reluctantly watched the trailer and it’s sympathising with two disgusting murderers, shouldn’t be about them, shouldn’t have been made without permission anyway. Money greedy, desperate for fame, using someone’s personal horror to get more famous!! Sick!
