Why didnt I watch this earlier?

Rating: 9/10 (10 April 2020)

It took me 9 Oscars and a Juliette Binoche movie (Chocolat) to convince me to watch the movie. The greatest trait of this movie I think is the genuine dialogue. Outstanding perfomance by Fiennes.
There are some two dimensional characters, but I loved how Madox's character was a fundamental piece. The story has a lot of sentiment and touchy moments but this will not be remembered as one of those movie when you cry your heart out at the end. Definetely taking an interest on more of Minghella's movies.
