Query: Blu-ray is of exceptionally poor quality and movie misses the mark

The Blu-Ray release from Germany is of exceptionally poor quality. The image is not even of DVD quality and there is so much noise at times that the video is almost drowned out. The movie is about an important time period and yet it is almost trivialized. The writing was particularly stilted and the characters one dimensional. The end was a foregone conclusion and there was no sense of building to that point. I hope there is a better treatment of Lena Baker's life in the future. There was so much potential wasted.
