Too much of everything
i must have seen a different film!!
What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
