Entertaining if not Engaging

Rating: 7/10 (24 April 2019)

It's a very attractive film to look at, and the score is great but I found it a bit slow moving and lacking in emotional impact. Overall it still makes for a satisfying experience and an interesting look at a society largely shut off from the outside world.
Jean Jacques Annaud is an interesting filmmaker with a distinctive style, I though his best was Name of the Rose but I also liked Quest for Fire and Enemy at the Gates.
