Jack G @Gump.jack Jan 12 It is aimed at guiding filmgoers to take the hidden scars of history seriously. It forces us to take the long-lasting pain of war seriously, and the key to reconciliation is never forgetting See more Alec B @AB1234678 Jan 3 When someone like Kidman falls in love with the dullest man in history on a train I instantly thought this is going to strain credibility to the limit. She was badly miscast. The story is slow and inevitable. The war scenes were a bit too cosy and far from reality to really bite.

I enjoyed the film but felt that some important points got left out and this affected the true account of what Eric Lomax went through to survive the war and what happened afterwards.

See more Igor S 02/28/2024 I read about the real story about these 2 ex soldiers many years ago and confess i don't know much about it but i get the feeling that this movie should have been alot better, especially when given such a powerful act like life long trauma and forgiveness. Some characters weren't as fleshed out as they should have been; some things happen to fast and the movie is filled with repetitive scenes. Although i understand the repetitiveness, because often times, that how the lifes of people with trauma seem like to them, there is no excuse for the rest. A powerful, real life story like this has so much potential that it's a shame it was never fully realized. The true heart of the movie tho (forgiveness and the healing that comes from it) is definitely here and it is impactful. It's worth seeing just for that message alone. See more Read all reviews
