2. Good Movie

Excellent cast, screenplay delicate, but flowed fairly well. Good use of b/w and color contrasts. Some of the scenes were a little shocking, which was a good thing to me. The main thing is that you will see parallels about what was happening then (the lack of information or misinformation) and what is happening currently in our culture that W is wanting to reverse...do see the movie.

7. Yeah, that was what was amazing to me...

I was actually shocked, too, at some points. Thought I'd seen it all (and I had- it was just in the context of the movie that it was surprising)...

But the effect was deliberate. Kinda puts you into that time....

5. We saw it at a matinee...

It was good...definitely thought-provoking, and also well-balanced. It didn't really push an agenda either way, I'd say...

It got a little tired toward the end- you kinda started wondering "How are they going to end this?"

But, ultimately, it's worth it. Not one of the BEST movies I've seen this year, but worth it.
