Great performances by so many. JLawrence in the lead is strong and powerful. JIrons lurking menacingly in the background with a killer speech at the vital point of the movie near the end. CRampling plays a fantastic, sadistic realist. JEdgerton delivers a tight performance. Many supporting roles and characters are very effective and crucial to the story. Minimalist performances with a big impact. Very well made. Well worth the extra 20 mins running time.
