Unless, of course, you heard it reviewed on National Public Radio's All 
Things Considered.  They reviewed it simply as a movie, not as any kind 
of message either positive or negative.  Based upon this review I most 
definitely want to see this movie, should it ever make it to the theaters 
in this town.  I'll probably have to wait for it to come out on video.
