There's so much drama surrounding the film and that's going to take the brunt of the blame if no Oscars get thrown its way.

One does have to look at the film without the personal baggage of the people who made it. I thought, at first, they were remaking the 1915 film and am glad they are not. I do want to see it and will sot will be interesting to see if I agree with what you have said Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-88695479286814311392016-10-02T11:12:34.640-05:002016-10-02T11:12:34.640-05:00Very interesting.

You shouldn't have to do that, but that's going to be the question that dogs every review of this. I will still see it. I'm just not sure how son.

The film is well-meaning and has good acting but it is incredibly flawed and has amateurish directing.
