Movie Haiku:Aung San Suu Kyi BioPic wastes the story of the extraordinary woman behind Burma's democracy movement, & wallows instead on her "personal sacrifices" (separation from her husband, time stolen from her children, etc). We're sure all this is true (more or less) & most commendable, but without telling us what she has been trying to accomplish, it all seems rather pointless :-(
