Valutazioni e recensioni

Was misled by all the 5* reviews. Given the historical context I thought the movie would be great, but the production was average and the 'god' drivel was painful to watch.

What powerful message, story and spiritual journey. I loved this. It is my new favourite movie of all time. I can not recommend it enough. The struggle and abuse was delicately portrayed in a manner that was powerful but accessible. The main character was played with passion and with depth. The story is engaging and educating. This had me biting me nails and hanging onto hope till the end. If you need a positive alternative try this movie. I found it inspirational.

What a woman, what a movie!! Gripping from start to finish. A truly awe inspiring lady to return time and time again in the face of absolute evil with no regard for her own life. A true historical hero.
