    Loved it
    Without being too long and boring I just want to say that I really enjoyed this movie and would absolutely recommend watching it. Absolutely worth reading the subtitles. I stumbled upon it on Amazon by chance and was not sure if I should watch it because of subtitles. I was so glad I did. Mind blowing that it's based on true story! Great movie. Loved it.
