great direction, outstanding acting

We were fortunate to see the premier at the Chinese Theatre in LA. First and foremost the composition of the film was excruciatingly crisp. There were no "what was that about?" moments. Acting was individually high quality and together created synergy exceeding the sum of the individuals. Further, I could not analyze every actor or actress but in two instances there were flashes of young Gregory Peck and Tom Cruise. That's not a hype but just hit me as I watched certain three second camera pick-ups. I am intrigued if others will see these resemblances when the film is shown to a wide range of audiences.

Sound track meshed with the period and film's meaning. I will get the soundtrack when it becomes available.

Some will find the film disturbing. Art should have that effect. The greatest compliment to a film is its ability to affect the watcher not through banalities but psychological turmoil.

See this film when it is shown in your locality.
