The reviews here are mixed as you can see but this movie can seem overwrought at times and hokey at other times. However the acting is powerful and it is not a Hollywood movie although the plot is nothing new and , yes , maybe even somewhat predictable. The actual locations , the language and , again the acting is powerful and I would say realistic. I sat down to review it as soon as I finished watching it because I believe it deserves a wide audience it stands out in my mind when compared to other movies. All I can say is that the characters are so well developed that they literally jump off the screen and into your soul. The movie has its faults but it's holds up and , I believe , achieves its objective. Perhaps not for everyone but I want more than 'entertainment.
