I don't usually write a review but had to in response to the couple of bad reviews here.
Those who left bad reviews don't like inventive ways tk tell a story and want spoon fed chronological A - Z storytelling.
This was one of the most truly moving and well done movies I have seen in ages. The acting was incredible they were not "dolls" with "too much makeup on" I have to conclude the reviewer who said that was maybe in the business and jealous that did not get a part. The elder Simone wore some make up as was the era - no one else did!
Days later still thinking about this film. Do not miss it if you can see it. Moving and well done. It will definitely be a foreign film Oscar contender.
