Encountered this one tonight (11/5/06) for the first time. Wow!
This isn't easy material. It appears the filmmakers try to help by developing characters beyond what's necessary, but even at that, many won't think they can relate. The in-your-face result is interesting. It could well mimic how it feels in real life, where the action doesn't relent just because you've gotten the point.
The cinematography is gripping, but can't possibly exceed the story(s). The film's value is in the validation it provides those who are aware they've lived through it. Not literally, necessarily: just being around these characters, you pick it up.
In reality, fate isn't easy on anyone. For those who know it, this is a must see.
