StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Abegail Noëlle 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.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
