It’s exploitation at its very best. There is zero regard for the family and now his mother has requested to boycott it anyone who watches it needs a word with themselves.

I agree with her. This is utter and shameless exploitation.

Sadly his killers were released with new identities

The killers shouldn't get any TV/press/book time full stop.

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!

James Bulger's mother urges director of film about son's murder to withdraw Oscar nominationDenise Fergus said that the film was making her 'relive' the trauma all over again So it's OK to have TV channels dedicated to grisly/unsolved murders, but not when it concerns James Bulger case? Probably the most insensitive film to ever have been produced without as much as an ounce of consultation to the Bulger family it should be banned from even screening never mind the director himself nominating it to the oscars I shall never watch it and hope others follow suit
