1. it is compelling
One of the great pleasures of the last year for me. Film wise.

Very well made. Cheadle is a great actor. No doubt.

2. Yes, it was.
I had very little appreciation for Cheadle until this film.

5. Now go find "Sometimes in April"
http://www.hbo.com/films/sometimesinapril/synopsis/

It might be out on DVD by now. I've seen both, and while I know "Hotel Rwanda" is based on a true story, "Sometimes In April" was far more profound.

6. Brilliant movie.
I thought it was very well done. The special features were compelling as well.
