Thanks for the memories!
It is a performances centric movie
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
