I must've missed the beauty and message of this film along with my family who found this movie to be absolutely dull and uninteresting (people fell asleep on it). There was no real plot and it felt more like watching a nearly two hour reality show or documentary about a day in the life of a warden more than anything else. I wasn't sure who to empathize with the most or where to place any emotional or mental energy among the characters, except those who were given the death sentence. The most important questions we asked were the ones that didn't have any answers or very little answers. I'd hope to like this because the exceptional Alfre Woodard was the lead I enjoy watching her work. But despite the fact that she carried it well (along with the supporting actors) with what she was given, unfortunately it wasn't enough to save this film from its utter lack of appeal.
