But it is a movie which whilst interesting struggles to be entertaining as it lacks both energy and passion. What this al boils down to is that "Serving in Silence: The Margarethe Cammermeyer Story" is an interesting movie which tells an interesting true story. In fact the actors which play her sons, which includes a young Ryan Reynolds, feel more alive than the main characters.

Aspects of it as we hear from another soldier what she faced after coming out is unsettling and there are many more aspects of the movie which are unsettling. On the interesting side it does do a good job of delivering the facts from how the whole situation kicked off to Margarethe deciding to tell her friends and family the truth in order to stand up for who she is. It makes it one of those movies which is interesting rather than entertaining, getting across the facts of the situation but never bringing the story to life. But on the other it comes across like a dry re-enactment rather than a drama with passion. MP3 is a digital audio format without digital rights management (DRM) technology.
