The CRAZIEST part of this story isn’t even mentioned in this movie, but nonetheless, add this as evidence as to why biopics about niche events are one of my favorite genres in film

It needed more whammies, less big bucks.
The ending didn’t really do it for me and there’s no purpose to the film in all honesty.
