I made a point of booking early to see this film when it was announced
at the Victoria Film Festival. I simply went on the fact that the two
actors headlining would make it a powerful engaging movie.
This was obviously a labour of love for David Oyelowo (producer) and
his performance is to be quite honest "over the top" and I am a fan of
his work. I was so disappointed with the dialogue between the Oyelowo
and Weist, as much as this is a difficult subject matter, in my opinion
the writer did not give them sufficient material to work with.
I left the movie not having any emotional attachment to the previous 82
minutes watched and feeling my time wasted.
