User review:

I had been wanted to watch this and then read the reviews and thought I wouldn’t bother. I only ended up putting this movie on as I’d seen everything else and couldn’t sleep. Did I watch the same movie as the people who hated it? I understand each to their own but for me the acting was great and the story would have resonated with so many different people on many levels. A rare script to have so many great actors in it so they obviously saw the wow factor.
