An extremely good film with some superb acting

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 2004)

This is an extremely good film with some superb acting and while Renee Zellweger got a lot of plaudits I have to say that for me it was Nicole Kidman's acting that stands out as she expertly portrays a women changing with the prevailing circumstances. She give a performance of outstanding depth and subtly but which is nonetheless powerful, and totally believable.
I also liked the stories of the two characters and the horrors of war that they both face, one on the front-line the other equally affected by the war back home. The meeting, the parting, the equally hard journeys that they both face and both overcome and the characters that they both meet along they way.
The cinematography is also superb; if film had just been edited a little more prudently then I would have had no qualms giving this film top marks.
