CGiii Comment

Production values are excellent.

Renier, as usual, delivers.

It's beautiful to watch.

Everything is done just right - except for the fucking angel. It just doesn't work. Now, that may be a failing of the original book - or, this metaphor (if that is what it actually is) loses its power in the transition to film - then, that would be the fault of the director.

Read the book to find out.

But, it is a engaging tale of dedication...marred by a clumsy, rather camp, angel.
