This movie is a tough one. I think it's hard for some people to digest, which would make some automatically write it off, but this is the reality for many people and it's important to remember that. I think the negative reviews are from people who don't understand it and the topic/arguments in the film made them write it off. That's a shame, it's a good film and the actors all did a wonderful job, but man... it's not for the light hearted.
