Sunday, 17 July 2011. A Review of The Ledge, by Tulpesh Patel. The Ledge, written and directed by Matthew Chapman. Well, what do you tell a dying child who hopes to see his parents again? The film’s reception has been mixed. To say the least. Whilst nothing that generates debate and reflection can ever be a wholly bad thing, most people I watched the film with at the National Federation for Atheist, Humanist and Secular Student Societies’. Were more interested in discussing the inexplicable appearance of...
