What an incredible experience!

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2006)

Trying to describe this movie in mere words can in no way do it justice.
I read Proulx's incredible story right before seeing the movie and wondered how it could be re-created on the screen with the same impact; it exceeded my expectations a thousand-fold.
Anyone who rejects this movie based on stereotypes or prejudices ought to be shot first and then asked why. Unless you have walked in the shoes of another person, you can never know the emotional price another might be paying for his or her feelings and life experiences.
What a mind-blowing experience to witness your own life on the screen and feel relieved that a movie can portray your own reality.
