Great Epic Fable

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2008)

I loved this movie the first time I saw it and I just saw it again on HULU.com and I still love it.
The acting is finely tuned and never heavy handed even though the story skates right up to the edge but never crosses into melodrama. LOTF is the exact point between a chic flick and a guy movie and from beginning to end it's has a great mood that flows like a river.
Every movie has a group of haters and that's just the nature of responses to art. You might be one of those haters but if you love early 20th Century westerns and epics and bonded families and love stories and can handle the violence you're more likely than not to enjoy this finely made film and thrive on the abundant joys and sadness and spiritual complexity of Legends Of The Fall.
