I thought this was an excellent portrayal of a great American Heroin. I know some reviews have not been kind because some facts or timings were not exactly correct, but none of us would know the history of our American women without movies like this. I am not a woman of color and I am way too old to be reading random history books but when I see a movie like this my interest points me to research the person that was the center of this portrayal. She was a phenomenal woman who was very brave and suffered more than any of us today can possibly imagine.
