Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and people who like stories about real, flawed people, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of A Man for All Seasons or Becket should feel right at home.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Unhurried and epic, at 2 hr 30 min.
What might put you off
  • It's long: 2 hr 30 min.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
