I'd agree with this. Because there is basically nothing else to concentrate on - literally: no change of scene, no other characters who are not voices or, in one case, a brief face on a tiny phone screen on a video - there's nothing I think to reward subsequent viewings. Still, for what it was, I thought it was pretty great. But yeah, definitely not something you would watch twice.

You could try docus and dramas on Napoleon. I watched a few: think one is called
Napoleon and Josephine. There's also
The Charge of the Light Brigade, and surely other, older type movies.

Absolutely. Two great twists near the end. Heart rending, and yet, in its way, totally satisfying. Glad the writer/director didn't cop out at the end.
