This is one of those movies that while I can't say I honestly enjoyed because the subject matter is so intensely bleak (it'd be a while before I could watch it again), I did think was very well done.
If it weren't for knowing that these events for the most part actually happened, I'd almost think what you see Jolie' character go through at the hands of the LAPD too over-the-top horrific. Then the flashbacks to what those boys at the ranch went through - sheesh, I have trouble just watching the youngling scene in RotS; I had to almost physically withdraw myself to not start bawling right there in the theater.
