Beautiful, moving film.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
