This movie seems to be a retelling of some Shakespeare play with all the High English stripped out of it. The path the protagonist takes is tortuous and labored.
If you're like me, you'll eventually start cursing at the TV screen; the frustration that builds and cannot release becomes almost unbearable.
In no way was the ending a surprise to me, knowing how these stories like to resolve themselves, but my reaction to it ... perfect music, perfect camera-work, perfect acting, wow ... wow ... wow.
This is the only movie I can say I almost turned off several times out of frustration only to be lifted to wild heights at the very end, thankful I had kept watching.
