Not for everyone

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2016)

This is most certainly not a movie for everyone. No superheroes, no jiggly camera tricks, just movie making craftsmanship of the highest order. If you don't like historical dramas or don't like museums or don't understand the craft, then you are likely not going to see any value in it.
However it's an epic true story of human endurance and the will to live. The realism, the cinematography, the score, great cast and crew all sewn together artfully by the director.
It's just too bad that more people just can't appreciate good historical movie-making anymore. A sign of the times i guess.
