Putrid, Boring, Dull, Pointless, Stupid

Rating: 1/10 (30 April 2016)

You'd think this was a filming of "The Emperor's New Clothes" the way so many IMDb viewers have rushed to jump on the bandwagon and tell what a great cinematic masterpiece this crock of bullpucky is.
In reality it ranks right up there with "Remains of the Day" as an excruciating, agonizing experience. In "Remains" we got to watch two people making lovesick cow eyes at each other across the room for an hour and a half, both lacking the courage do to anything about their feelings. Here we get TWO AND A HALF hours of courage which seems pointless and provides little interest.
Some have commented on the great cinematography. This might as well have been filmed in black and white. The camera work was pedestrian with the exception of the irritating camera angles which appeared intermittently to provide some break from the tedium on the screen.
Whatever happened to fur trappers and mountain men wearing buckskins? The actors in this film look like a bunch of rag pickers from the great depression.
I was determined to watch this through to the end, but was only able to do so by watching it in thirty minute increments, continually pressing a remote button to see how much of my thirty minute sentence was left.
If you're a sheep-like person who enjoys raving about what everyone else is raving about, this is the film for you. It's NOT for me.
