Bold and endearing...

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2017)

An adventure biopic about explorer Percy Fawcett's ill-fated expedition for a lost city in the Amazon jungle. Charlie Hunnum's leading performance is bold and endearing, the early 1900s production design is authentically raw and the Amazonian sequences are enrapturing given the passionate manner of how Fawcett approaches obstacles and inhabitants, the intensive editing and warm and vibrant color correction. Though, the non-Amazonian sequences tend to drag on for too long and the final act seemed oddly tame and could've been a lot more intense and emotional. A great watch, overall.
