I saw this last night. Was the only one in the theater which was nice but it was also unfortunate that more people aren't seeing it. I think this is one of the best films of the year with a great ending. I didn't think they'd go there but it was what I wanted to happen so I was very pleased that they did. It was cathartic. Thandiwe Newton is incredible. She'll be overlooked during awards season which is a shame. She is Oscar-worthy.

If you happen to have this playing nearby go see it.
