About
If you want a hard-hitting, fact-based drama about custody and accountability, this may land strongly, especially if you liked Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom; Not for you if you need fast pacing or uplifting, feel-good stories.
Pros: powerful true-story impact; strong performances; tense, bleak atmosphere | Cons: very slow pacing; emotionally grueling; can feel frustrating
