Has good moments but not amazing as a whole. Just “okay”

Hugh Jackman was good but the story wasn’t that interesting

A very interesting documentation of events but never gets below the surface of Hart or really any other character.

Very good premise and great acting but sadly it doesn’t really go anywhere.

Good performances throughout, including the leads. But the movie asks a lot of big questions and shrugs when pressed for an answer.

Realistic and well acted from of course Hugh Jackman, I guess the story is not that interesting though.

Hugh Jackman is amazing, the script is good, but to be honest I left the theater feeling a bit underwhelmed. A solid film nonetheless

Engaging watch with great cast. Doesn’t always have the answers to questions that it asks intentionally.

Decent history piece - wasn’t familiar with the background but found the movie watchable. Once was enough though.

Not bad, not good enough. It could say far more, but it chooses to be just another story about an unfaithful husband. No more, no less. Meh
