I was gripped and drawn to tears many times. this is an amazing film. i have learned to ignore the reviews until after i see a film. i have found that most reviews are based on political, ethnic or religious views, and not on content. humans seem to react to their beliefs or prejudices, rather than absorb the whole. that's what's wrong now. reactionary ratings.
