A cautionary tale that's harrowing, heartbreaking and -- especially given the times, when Americans seem all-too-ready to once again judge people as a threat solely by their appearance -- disturbingly resonant.

It's a good film but an over-obvious one. I wish I'd liked it more.

Seems embalmed in its own time, an earnest and handsomely crafted museum piece, not an urgent transposition of Miller's moral outrage to the new century.

Relevant message aside, there's no good reason to sit through photographer Neal Slavin's directorial debut.
