CGiii Comment

After a shaky start, some unintelligible dialogue [subtitles would help]...it starts to settle.

And...when it does, it hits hard, again-and-again...one scene, in particular, could have been held longer...an other, could have gone much, much further. As unpleasant - even horrific - as it is...there's no denying the emotional wallop nor the vast talent it delivers.

Work hard...and, this could be developed into the next Sweet Sixteen! Work even harder...and, it could be better than 16!
