The film sounds great, but intense.  I plan on watching at some point, but it might take me a while to ready myself first.

I read the book years ago. Looking forward to watching this film.

Just watched this, was really impressed. Good short “making of…” also available on Netflix. 

Director/actors make you really feel it.
