Marvelously acted and thematically relevant.

A very.well acted and exceptional film that keeps your interest from the opening scene. As far as one critic who felt that Hanna was an object of our sympathy, not completely true. What she did was unequivocally wrong, but her refusal to admit that she was illiterate at the trial to get a reduced sentence is another aspect of her character. Seeing Michael's coolness towards her I believe ,makes her also realize the enormous consequences of her actions. A brilliant cast.
