The movie is compelling and (of course) full of pathos. It presents complexities not normally addressed in "good guy vs bad guy" films. But it also presents a number of highly complex situations that it can't possibly resolve in a movie format. A documentary would be better suited.
The acting was excellent, with the exception of the ever-predictable Aidan Quinn. Anna Paquin was impressively in command of her performance and did much better than I expected. The rest of the cast was just as good.
This picture made me cry like a documentary would but didn't draw me in like a compelling movie. I think it's just a case of wrong medium for the story.
