This is tough one for me... I thought the acting, VERY clever plot and pacing were all on point with some amazing and random things thrown in (ping pong!) with some fantastic nods to USA history entwined throughout - no wonder the film recieved so many accolades!

So why the low'ish review.... I watched it with a friend who was not 'up' on USA history so anything historical went straight over their head and they felt that it was just an OK film.... Maybe this will not apply to most viewers but the fact that it applies to some, for me at least, takes the shine off of over all impact of the film.

A must watch in my opinion IF you are aware of the historical significances.... But a 'meh' film if not!!!
