The movie is well made. It weaves the larger tragedy very well with the life of a worker in the factory. Thanks to a great script, screenplay, and direction, you can feel the tension increase as things start going wrong in the factory. The impact of the gas leak is also captured very well - it's stark, it seems very real, yet it avoids unnecessary gore.
Yet, there are some misses. Some key points of the tragedy are not part of the film at all (though they find mention in text towards the end.) For example, Warren Anderson has a very small role in the film. There was a lot of wrangling over his role and reactions to the tragedy. Then there was the incompetence and corruption in the Indian government, which led to a lot of deaths and resulted in a paltry 470 million settlement.
Despite these misses, the movie does a great job at capturing the tragedy that the world forgot.
