What a fantastic film! I'm a huge fan of Annie Proulx and had read and enjoyed the book, and I have to say the film did not disappoint. Although it does add in extra bits (i suppose it would have to what with the book being so short) they didn't really seem out of place. The acting of the two main actors was excellent, and their love story seemed so real and passionate that i could not help to sympathise and wish that life could turn out differently for them. The scenery is beautiful, and its loneliness and vastness adds to the atmosphere of the film.
I really recommend it, but don't go if you are wanting something light hearted lol! I have to say both me and the friend i saw it with ended up in tears! The only suggestion i have is that you read the book first as its just so beautifully written.
