Can't stop thinking about this one

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2019)

For his first time as a director, Mr Crowe has made a crowning achievement. There is nothing I can find fault with here. The story, based on a novel, is slow to reel you in, but never lets you go. A man buries his wife, who has died broken hearted from the deaths of their sons in the Gallipoli Campaign. At her graveside, he promises her he will bring their remains back home. He travels to Turkey, where a young boy tricks him into staying in his mother's inn.
