Well Done

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2003)

Whenever I see a movie based on I book I really like, I always expect the worse. Cold Mountain is a great exception. The Romanian scenery is perfect. The actors all give it their best. One problem...after months of hard labor on the farm, Nicole always appears like she just walked off a Cosmo cover shoot, I mean, come on, NOBODY looked that good coming off a hardscrabble North Carolina farm in 1864. But that's a small quibble...the movie is great The music really works well too. Another good credit for T Bone Burnett.
