A Masterpiece!
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
