Who'll love it
Made for anyone who loves a strong drama. If you loved The Pianist or Tommy, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood
Harrowing.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 54 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13: peril. Probably too much for younger kids.
