****SPOILERS****Let me start this off by saying that the performances by Viggo Mortenson and Jason Issacs are fantastic. They really hold up and kept me engaged into what was going to happen next. Yet the movie is very slow so if you arn't prepared for anything with a deep meaning and a period piece you may be sadly disappointed.
Let's start with camera work, it's beautiful yet there are some odd editing issues in between but other than that it was pleasing. Now to the story. The biggest problem with it is that nothing is resolved except for John's mother dies or ESPECIALLY when John is looking for Maurice at the camp it just left wondering what the whole point of the last two hours was that I watched.
All in all this movie was great with fantastic performances and great camera work but with a story that's mildly confusing at times it'll just kind of leave you hanging.
