This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A possible allegory about fledgling democracies, or even Communist states, succumbing to ruthless idealism.
