I like this film. It utterly charms and fascinates me. I rate it highly because it feels unique to me. First watching it without any forewarning about the nature of the movie, I felt a tad disoriented as the narratives seemed incoherent or rather not related to each other but then by the time I finished watching I was enchanted.
For one thing, the film is lovely to look at. The setting is exquisite. The characters are quirky but not weird or straw figures. They are interesting. I especially enjoyed Nathalie Boltt, as the Jenny Wade obsessed Gettysburg tour guide. There is a splendid transparency about that character. On the other hand, the hunters seem a tad off and the visit to the Christian Scientist threw me, but the lovely section about the Amish woman feels satisfying. It is all played to perfection. I want to watch this one again.
