Subjective Rating: 3/10 (Bad, 1/4). The quintessential movie of it's type: heavy-handed Oscar bait. It tries desperately to pull emotional strings, but is so lacking in humanity that it never even succeeds in cheap manipulation. It's the cinematic equivalent of a suspended cymbal roll.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.8/4 (Eh)
