I loved this movie. It was probably my favorite of the year, tied maybe with The Iron Claw. I wonder if the recent accusations of plagiarism cloud your review in any sense.
I hadn't heard about the accusations. If true, that would be horrible, of course, and the original writer would deserve credit (and money too). Thanks for bringing that up.
I heard about them on a podcast. Typically these accusations have to be taken with a grain of salt but this situation seems plausible. Sad, really because I think it sort of stains the movie’s impact.
Exactly. I'm hesitant to outright condemn until it's officially proven, but you're right that this one sounds plausible, which really would be a shame.
