ABSOLUTE GEM!

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2018)

This is one of those films that will stay with you for a long time, if not forever. Nothing about it is excessive; everything fits so well together: from the acting, to the cinematography, pace, editing, music, down to the closing credits.
What's marvelous about it is that it's as true to the historical timeline as can be and it's written pretty straight, but because it's a true story, and it's such a horrible one that it plays as a dark comedy, as well as a farce. Except...it's not! If it was a work of fiction, one would say that it would be almost a 'morality play' but again...it's not.
It's a film all history, politics and film buffs should see. The only reason why I'm giving it 9 stars and not 10 is because it was too short. Another 10 minutes on the film which I'm sure was shaved off, would have possibly offered better story arcs and details.
