Insights

Review Summary

Pros: ambitious, complex story; strong casting; beautiful locations | Cons: uneven pacing; hard to connect; weak effects

Will You Like This?

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a sweeping, idea-driven drama mixing faith, fate, and friendship, with a grand, sometimes uneven tone; Not for you if you need tight pacing, warm characters, or polished effects like in Left Luggage.
