Todd C I don't really think I liked this all that much. I'm trying to just rate the movie and not my experience with it. I watched on Tubi and the words didn't match up with mouths and the movie was dark and hard to see. I'm not really sure what they were going for in this movie and I clearly missed something as I read that Jimmy Carter and Roslyn were at the opening and found the movie to be important. The story didn't make much sense to me. I think this one can be left on the shelf. The score and music were pretty damn good though.
