I'm really torn how to rate this movie. So after much thinking, here's this movie in a nutshell: subject matter = stellar ... acting = not so stellar.
1) The subject matter is a topic never really addressed in the movies, but of very high interest and importance. EXCELLENT topic.
2) But the acting and portrayal of this topic was kind of trite, contrived, and over-acted.
Still a healthy 7 out of 10. Definitely worth watching until the same topic with much better acting comes out someday hopefully.
