I quite agree with what many others have said here about this movie. It tells an important story (based on a true one evidently) but the movie is WAY TOO LONG at two and a half hours and the "acting" is not really convincing at all. The acting in particular from the Gloria character was just dreadful. Every scene she played involved eye-rolling that was way over the top and quite unnecessary. I live in Thailand where Thai TV programs and movies are also way over acted which led me to believe that "Gloria" had probably done her acting training in Thailand rather than in West Africa. This story really could have been very adequately told in 90 minutes. The extra hour just made it somewhat annoying. All the same, it was a decent movie and I rate it 7.0 JMV.
