Wow

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2015)

I have never left a review before - I had to review this film. From the strong and intriguing opening montage I got the feeling that this would be an interesting albeit long film. The beginning is a master class in character development and sets the scene for every moment yet to enjoy. Despite being over 2 1/2 hours long, the viewing time felt short. This is a film to watch. From start to finish there are none of the usual attention grabbers, just mellow relaxing music and acting of the highest degree, every character is believable, deep and multi faceted. Matthew McConaughey is spectacular, what an amazing actor (I will now watch his other films). A brief and limited review, please watch this believable and gripping film, it has to be the most enjoyable 2:49 I have spent for many years. I watch few films more than twice, I am on my second viewing right now.
