Possibly the best movie I've seen. This kind of excellence in filmmaking makes me even more impatient with the sub par work of some of our current filmmakers. Of course the source material was excellent to begin with, but this film--the cinematography, the script, the music....was nothing short of heartwrenchingly beautiful. Top tier acting by everyone involved. The director took his time to get the best possible performances from his actors and their collective chemistry is undeniable. Geesh!
