The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
