DVD viewed Jun 13, 2006. Difficult to watch in parts, but it’s difficult material. I would have scored it higher but some of the dialogue, particularly in the climactic courtroom scene, just didn’t ring true. (It’s probably due to the compression of actual events.) Also, the wigs were so awful, and—my familiar complaint—the accents were spotty. Mostly this is just nit picking, but I do think the movie would have been better if they’d spent more time on the dialogue. The pro-life messages in the last act were unexpected and interesting. Anyone else like to see a movie that focuses on whatever went on in the lives of Kyle and Glory?
