I thought it was a pretty good film though I found the handheld camera, low shots, extreme closeups and jerky editing tiresome and somewhat distracting. I'm not a big Fiennes fan. His range seems to be from A to B. Good story with a thought provoking subject.

  down considerably. I didn't find it intrusive to the point of distraction.
  But you really shouldn't see it because your mind is so made up invariably you'd just post "See, I was right!".
  That said, few movies will remain with the viewer as I suspect this one will.
