A beautiful film set in a different era

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2017)

Well, When I came to know that Scorsese was making a film about spread of Christianity in Japan, I had painted a very specific picture about what this film could be. The thing is, It is completely unexpected. Yes, I'd agree that it's kinda too long, but I won't complain. It's a very beautiful movie, it explores various topics that would be rather not known to the viewer. Andrew Garfield just performs so well in his role and brings out the character in perfect light. I really don't understand many of the viewers expectations from this movie. It is just perfect in it's own way, I don't think this could have been executed any better. If entertainment is a top priority for you, then this is not the movie you should be watching. It's a lengthy, well crafted piece of art that needs to be appreciated. If you are into that and have an open-mind about the story, then this movie won't disappoint.
