15 September 2018 | by mayknyc-11908See all my reviews

Incredible story telling , great cast , I watched it fascinated from start to finish, this movie is based on a true story that might raise a lot of political issues, but I think that we as humanity should focus on art and freedom of expression. Overall absolutely a great movie, highly recommended.
