A textbook for film schools

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2002)

There's not a single wasted frame in this movie. If anything, that is it's only flaw -- a couple of scenes might have been extended a bit more. Many films succeed with one third the material.
The film foreshadows certain developments, although they are revisited with a different look at the proper moment.
The acting is from good to excellent and the scenery is a travel brochure for Alaska.
