I just wished they we are able to get deeper into the minds of the characters.[/color] Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I found this movie hard to get into at first. I was probably having issues with the "70's style" acting and music, but, got over it and ended up really LOVING this movie. Looking forward to watching it again and reading the book. Cinematography wise, I don't think this is Sven Nykvist best work, but it is DEFINITELY his work and he is one of the greatest masters.
