This film has one of the most complex stories I have ever seen. Some films could be easily shortened to the half. This movie is very different, there is stuff enough for two or three movies in it. Every time you think you could not be surprised, the whole story takes another direction. And in the end you are informed the story is actually true.
Very good play, very good cuts. Very good actors. I enjoyed every minute.
