...from Russia 16 years ago, Chernova regularly shopped at conventional supermarkets like Dominick's and Jewel-Osco, but no more.

...parents raised complaints that were ignored by company and local government officials.

Though most of the film’s questions are answered two-thirds of the way through, it continues to roll with an impatience for finality and a self-conscious pace that the audience feels. Eastwood, however, does know how to milk a climactic scene for all its worth. One scene in particular is tense to the point where it is almost unbearable to watch—and therefore all the more impossible to ignore. In a time where the public is not at its coziest with bureaucracy, Christine?...
