Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2015)

I had hesitated to watch this on Amazon Prime as my wife won't watch unhappy endings. I viewed it while she was at work and I believe everyone should see this movie. It is well written, well acted, well photographed, well edited, and well, it's a must see. That is my strong feeling.
The characterizations are well played showing the interaction of each family member, including the rocky husband wife relationship. The pubescent daughter follows blindly but the younger son is smart enough to see the lies everyone is expected to believe. The 8 year old adventurous son and the boy he befriends is very moving and well developed. The build up to the ending is surprising and effective. Those who say this history never happened are naively and/or willfully ignorant.
