I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
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.
