Just finished watching this with my Wife and 9-yr old daughter. And though at the 1hr mark the 9yr old was looking forward to the ending, I think she enjoyed it.
I will say that the filming style, which is inter-mixed with video clips of the American 20's, was a little more "cable special" then is a typical Hollywood movie, There are critiques for-sure, but again the impact of the message, and the impact on my 9-yr old should be enough for you to watch.
I will leave by saying the last 20min of the movie make it ALL WORTH WHILE; even though the horrible story and suffering is hard to imagine.
PS. Was a little annoyed at the "rosy" representation of the Communist party in the '20's.
