Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
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's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
