Ok...I saw the trailers and several local reviewers pronounced it as their candidate for "greatest movie ever made" or something like that. I saw it tonight and while it was well acted with an excellent look and feel, I didn't think it was all that great. The acting was good, the look and feel excellent in its sepia-tinted soft focus, sentimental way, but why does this story make sense? The fairy tale, mythic portrayal made me expect that in the end there would be some sort of lesson or presentation of wisdom or great conclusion about life, but no. By the end, I mainly was thinking about how good it would feel to take off my shoes. Is this a great movie that went right past me?
