not as good as all the hype
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.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
