While watching this movie I thought to myself that it was good I had
already read the book. This was because the movie is agonizingly
desperate and sad--often times it was just too much to absorb or handle
in such a large dose. You can't put this movie down like you can with
the book. Unlike the book being beautifully written, in an almost
poetic prose, which distracted the reader from the subject, the movie
is not beautifully shot. In your face is desperation, agony, and death.

I can understand why this movie was shelved for a year. Do not go into
it looking to be entertained, at best look to be intellectually
stimulated. This is no popcorn movie.
