Excellent adaptation.

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
