As good as ever watching it through my 11 years old’s eyes.

★★★★ Watched

Talk about a difficult subject to handle, and this movie does it with a really deft touch.  Such a slow build but the predator(s) and the more importantly, the damage, are both laid bare without it ever being heavy handed.

★★★★ Rewatched

My 5th grader watched this in her social studies class and she couldn’t wait to watch it again with me - was even better than I ed.  Great story, great feel good movie, solid performances all around.
