Particularly memorable Q&A when a German diplomat voiced his opinion
18 February 2016 | by michaeljtrubic (Canada) – See all my reviews
When a German Diplomatic official attends the premiere in Toronto to refute the premise of the film its a sign that the material strikes pretty close to home.
Very memorable Q&A at the 2015 Tiff. Hats off to the director that didn't flinch at all when confronting the questioner.
Its one of those films that you can honestly say "real life is stranger than fiction"
Its obvious that the film makers used this convincing story to attract the very talented cast. Even the despicable bad guys (and gal) were very well cast in addition to our heroes.
I'm glad this film wasn't released amidst the flurry of films prior to the awards season. Everyone should take the time and let this material and these performances sink in.
Well done. Good work.
