Outstanding, lovely.

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2015)

What an amazing movie. Oh my God, I found it astonishing. The movie is nearly three hours long, nonetheless, it is really engrossing. I was glued to the screen the whole time, it was amazing. The film alternates six stories, which could be confusing, but it actually creates a compelling movie. Through these tales, the viewer encounters elements so natural to us: love, compassion, evil, freedom. The correspondence between Sixsmith and Frobisher is one of the most beautiful depictions of love.
All the actors in the movie appear in multiple roles throughout the movie, everyone did an excellent job. I particularly enjoyed Tom Hanks' performance as a post-apocalyptic villager and as a vile doctor in 1849. Also, Jim Sturgess, oh God, he is just lovely, especially when he performs a main role in the story. However, there was an actress I enjoyed very much, Doona Bae, this being the first film I watch with her in. Her gradual awakening to her own value is beautiful, she is excellent.
Great movie, I would not hesitate to recommend it; it's thought-provoking and heart-shifting.
