Reception

Mike Hale of The New York Times opined that it was "better than average" for a television film and that it featured "sensible" dialogue and "adequate" performances while mostly avoiding "opportunities for cheap emotion".[1] Jason Bailey of DVD Talk rated the film 3/5 stars, opining that it "ingeniously intermingl[es] drama and documentary to tell a truly fascinating story with skill, if not a tremendous amount of depth."[2] Michele Hewitson of The New Zealand Herald called the film an "uneasy mix of fact and licence" and a "competent but hardly inspiring retelling of that amazing story."[3]
