Beautiful.

Rating: 9/10 (28 December 2012)

A little intro-
Just got back from watching it, I didn't have an IMDb account until now. Saw the top review wasn't great. Needed an input. Not going for well written full on review. Film student at a prestigious uni.
A beautiful, magic and wonderful visual journey. A magical story with some of the best cinematography I've ever seen in my life. A tragic and heart wrenching portrayal of a journey of love, loss, faith, survival and hope. Do yourself a favour and go and watch it, after noticing the gross for this film was so low (probably due to the Hobbit) I felt obliged to write this, if I convince one person to go and watch it then I'm happy. I spent the whole film switching between smiling and tears. As with any great film I don't need to say the acting was great, the soundtrack was great etc. Every aspect was flawless. The thing that stood it apart though was the photography, almost every single still in this film could've been a phenomenal painting or photograph, simply beautiful.
I'm quite a closed minded person when it comes to religion but this (very subtly might I add) portrayed faith in a truly incredible manner I've never seen in a film before.
I could write for hours about this film but I'm tired so I'll keep it short and sweet and say - Go and watch it. Give these filmmakers your money.
A masterpiece in every single way that it set out to be.
