I had heard about this movie by the buzz it created when it first came out early this year and decided to give it a go.
The film is basically a slice of life period drama. It's realistic, it's slow, at times it's uninteresting, much like everyday life... in the 1800s. The characters are well established, the plot is well developed, dialogues are realistic. And much like real life it doesn't have a simple beginning or an ending. I understand that this was an intentional decision but after watching the film this leaves one with a feeling like having read some chapters from the middle of a book, but not the whole book itself.
Even though I do want to pick up the story from where it left off and see where it goes, the movie as it is, is fulfiling nevertheless.
Definitely worth watching.
