NOW THIS WAS A RIDE

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2020)

Legends of the Fall is an epic western drama filled with raw emotions and shocking twists. Edward Zwick directs with a fine sense of realism and massive scope in vision. The battles and fights are as exciting as the tender romance moments. The score from James Horner is lovely, sweeping across the shots of fields and wilderness, cradling each scene carefully. It's one of Brad Pitt's best performances, if not his best. Anthony Hopkins is fantastic and over the top in a very good way. Julia Ormond, Aidan Quinn and Henry Thomas all pick up the slack in their scenes as well.
