I was looking forward to this movie, had read promising things about it. What a disappointment. I found it boring to the extreme, overrated and precious in its own little bubble. I was not engaged with the main character or the actor's performance, difficult to believed he won an Oscar for it. Some movies are like the emperor's clothes to me. This is one of them.
It's long, it's dated, it's an old style Hollywood epic. One of the best of the last if you are into that sort of thing. All 8 critics here have given it 100 points, but what do they know?
Has some beautiful shots and some very long ones. I watched on TV, albeit an enormous screen so quality of image and sound were not diminished, on the downside I paused it few times for food and phone breaks.
