A Well Told Story

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2019)

As a whole I enjoyed this film. It tells a true story, and well. The acting is all top notch, and the themes about standing up to injustice are great. Really, I think my biggest problem with this film is that I felt as if it was leading me by the hand emotionally. Every scene where something emotional happens, the music swells and the performances get more dramatic; there are impassioned monologues and tearful revelations... it just feels like everyone is trying so freaking hard to get me to care about everything. If they hadn't played up the overly dramatic parts of this movie I probably would've enjoyed it a bit more.
