REVIEW
At first it’s a bit confusing with three separate stories not all on the same time line. But gradually the pieces start falling into place. Despite the length of the movie (it’s 2 hours and 22 minutes long) there is a lot going on and not much could be edited out.
Excellent acting throughout and the cinematography is top notch.
CLASSIFICATION
