Saw this earlier today and thought it was slow paced, lazy & rather dull, can't say that anyone really stood out in this performance wise (apart from maybe Jane Fonda) so overall it only gets a 5/10 from me...

Finally got to see this film with OH and having looked forward to seeing it, following trailers and reviews I found it a very long film and time dragged throughout.
Although it was well acted and a very personal story (if not totally factual from reading the reviews), it is very sad to think that these things actually happened.
Only a 5/10 from me.

Finally caught up with this film on DVD. Alot of factual events included but it was rather slow.

Watched over the weekend, really enjoyed it 9/10. Forester Whittaker is amazing and also good to see many other stars in the film as the story progresses, in particular Robin Williams.
