not as good as all the hype
Better Late Then Never
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
