Reviews

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Aubrey Hackett 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.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
