As with all of Shirley MacLaine's films the message was well worth the two hours of my life.
I recommend it highly.
Not one stereotype is left unchallenged and done so subtly one has to stop and really think.
Had a really difficult time watching the brutality Bruno and Angela (Stacey Halprin) had to endure from most everyone else in the film, all because they wanted/needed/were seeking to be themselves. What a society of drones we live in. "And it will take a child to lead them..." ..and a black child for that matter.
Great movie, may be difficult for sensitive folks but well worth it. Had to watch it in three time periods just to let the distress at the violence subside.
