Well Done.

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2012)

I heard so many amazing things about this movie when it was released theatrically that I jump at the chance to watch it as quickly as I could when it hit video. I can see why it was well loved and received numerous nominations. The film was beautifully shot in the style of the time and the acting was well-done. As usual, John Goodman and James Cromwell added greatness and depth to their roles. I love the dog, he was truly man's best friend in the film.
I especially loved the use of sound it a few key scenes.
It reminded me of the film(s) within a film featured in "The Majestic." In my option, the pacing could have been picked up a tad. I checked my watch a few times.
