Everything about this movie is wonderful if you can handle the grim subject matter.
The musical score is superb, the cinematography excellent, the writing intelligent, and the acting faultless.
I was expecting the subject matter to be exploited, but it wasn't. At the same time, no punches were pulled.
Everyone involved in this project deserves high praise, and my only complaint is that here is yet another great movie ignored by the mainstream.
I am happy to say that this movie is heart-warming at the end -- in spite of the tragedy that takes place, and the fact that the wrongdoers do not receive the punishment they so richly deserve.
Anyone concerned about the injustices and hardships visited upon innocent and defenseless children should see this movie, which is based on historical fact.
