An Uphill Journey - In a Good Way

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2011)

This is a somewhat interesting film in the way it plays out. Having never read the book, I'm not sure how it measures up but the movie is definitely a worthwhile experience.
Somewhat abstract and a little confusing at points, the plot can become repetitive or jerky over 120 mins. However, even with a somewhat slow start, the movie gains more and more momentum with time leading to a semi-strong finish that I found enjoyable.
I think this film could have been great with a little more focused direction and the trimming out of 15-20 mins but it is still worth a watch. 6.5/10
