A well-researched and truly gripping film that gets so much right. Pacing might be deliberate for frenetic gamers, but for those who focus and pay attention, this film offers tremendous value. The selection of vignettes and focus on the human desire to know, understand, discover, is balanced by the equally human failings, frailties, and despairs that make the achievements of Roald Amundsen so worth the exploration. Deeply emotional, considered, and coordinated, the casting and characterizations intrigue, and will send those who relish historical drama to finding out more - which is always a great result of an effective cinema experience.
