I've got to admit I was incredibly surprised by what an intelligent, well-paced and fascinating film this turned out to be. It's a film where you pretty much know everything that will happen from the beginning (even if you're unfamiliar with the true story on which it's based) but somehow it doesn't matter.

The best thing about this film is definitely the characters, which are all incredibly complex, multi-layered and fascinating with great dynamics. The actors playing them embody them in a way that feels very real and raw, bringing a strong sense of realism to a film that otherwise feels somewhat otherworldly.

Overall I can't think of any way this film could be improved. It held my interest all the way through and for every second of it, I was totally immersed in the story, characters and world.
