It is so nice to see a film that is a surprise.Being a frequent film flyer it is hard to find new ideas, or unexpected dialog, an unknown (to me) actor, a story worth telling that hasn't been told to death, all in a well crafted production. The film's subject is a difficult one to talk about, and actually get people to listen, but the people that came together to make this gem found a way. I am supposing that the book had a lot to do with that. I haven't heard of the book, much less read it yet, but that is my next quest. This film has been a joy in so many ways. It's a keeper.
