Excellent adaptation.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
