It becomes difficult to quantify how great the film is. The 1st thing that jumps out into your mind is how harrowing it is when learning about this story for the 1st time. Once beyond that point you're treated to Tahar Rahim & his ability to manipulate our emotions with his tone and facial expressions. Bar none, he shined the brightest. Benedict Cumberbatch provided an interesting southern accent that moved with his character. This gave an authentic feel. Jodie Foster channels her inner Clarice Starling with a performance that showed the pinpoint focus of her character. The pacing of the film was consistent and without empty space. This provided us with an unrushed product that made this harrowing film stick in your mind. Bravo!

It was very moving. It’s unfortunate our government used the tactics shown in the movie.

Amazing performances in a true story that needs to be told. I was truly moved by this film.

Someone had to tell that story. Loved it
