Rating: 8/10 (21 March 2018)

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadger
Legends of the Fall depicts a somber and sorrowful story of loss and a broken family. It deals with the loss of a son, a brother, and a husband. It has some extremely touching and powerful moments. The characters are all unique and have different strengths and weaknesses that further the story. The story is graphic and the ending is heartfelt and genuine. The ending truly made the movie because turns from heartfelt to somber in a matter of moments. The end credits music really helps the movie set in and makes you think about the bond of family.
The acting is very good. Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt both deliver powerhouse performances. They both convey so much emotion and Brad Pitt really surprised me with this performance. Aidan Quinn, Julia Ormond, Henry Thomas, Karina Lombard, Tantoo Cardinal, and Gordon Tootoosis all perform very well.
The pacing is very slow and the runtime is overly long.
Pros: Emotional and sorrowful story, great ending, good acting, amazing performances by Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt, good cinematography, and a good use of music
Cons: Very slow pacing, an overly long runtime, and the film could have been edited down by a lot
Overall Rating: 8.1
