First off...what an amazing start this movie has. The beginning is so absolutely terrifying and saddening to watch. It is incredibly tense with an awful atmosphere perfectly built for this kind of movie. It also doesn't refrain from showing violence which makes you want to look away from how brutal it is. All this, with the amazing acting and amazing soundtrack, create for a very depressing film. Also the cinematography is excellent. I do find that the middle Chunk of the movie, wasn't all that great...and I find it really hard to say anything negative on a movie about such a touching subject, but as solely a film stand point. The middle section is extremely repetitive and slow which ends up making it quite boring. The climax does turn it around but only very last minute, still a great ending though. I do think movies like this are extremely important, especially for the younger generations (including myself). There is a lot in this movie that can teach people which is brilliant.
