How Can this Glorious Film....


Have anything less than a 9.8 rating? Yes, it's in some ways a filmed play....but still has definite cinematic quality. Given the wonderfully touching and true story, great film adaptation, SUPERB acting from both Bancroft and Duke, and beautiful black and white photography, I don't understand why the score isn't much higher.

Not enough comic book superheroes, nudity, grisly violence and 144 uses of the "f" word. At least, that's my guess. LOL (I agree, it is wonderful.)

You can't judge by imdb, very few films receive a 9.8. Films as good as this one have receibed even lower then 8.0
