About

You may like this if you want a heavy, character-driven drama with a powerful lead performance and painful wartime memories; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, lighter material, or something more like The Pianist or The Killing Fields without extended relationship drama.

Pros: powerhouse lead performance; emotionally intense story; memorable supporting cast | Cons: uneven pacing; slow first half; too much time on present-day drama
