I was a little disappointed with the pace of the film however it succeeded in running the gamut of my emotions. I laughed, I cried, I was horrified and angered. I do not know the extent of the accuracy of the film but I am not easily taken in by what I see on a movie screen therefore it's ability to move me to tears, laugh and be emotionally caught up in it says the movie was well acted. Despite the slow pace the movie is a go see. I went on a night when the extras from the film were there wearing their period costumes and it gave a little charge to the atmosphere in the theater.
