Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
