FINAL COMMENTS:
This is one of the best “What would you do if this happened to you?” films I’ve ever seen. Spirited conversations sprang up from every corner of the theater the instant the house lights came on. It’s the kind of movie that will inspire many late night conversations.
The premise is simple yet never loses steam for a second. The acting is extraordinary. It’s a film you’ll think about long after it’s over. It’s real cinema.
