Nicole Kidman is gorgeous. Colin Firth is as good as ever. But the film treatment somehow fails to really break your heart.
That is not to diminish the true horror of the story, especially as it is true.
This is recommended viewing for anyone affected by Ms Markel's terrible ordeal. It might give some perspective on true suffering and forgiveness.
