Mini-Review: Ok, let's go... the cinematography was generally good but those colours at the end were just awful, score was painful, production design was too picture perfect, the acting was average, and I couldn't really care for any of the characters! The only really good thing was the war scenes; not surprising coming from the man who did 'Saving Private Ryan'. The rest? A load of Hollywood saccharine shite!!! Definitely not a film to watch when one is terribly sad, but hey a little catharsis always helps.
Mini-Review: Difficult to follow at times but beautifully shot, very atmospheric and with perfect and subtle performances. It's a film that will get better with further viewings.
