Ratings and reviews

Riviting, once you watch from start to finish it contains in depth human relations and multi generational perspectives of lives how each were affected by tragedy. Their struggles and then the conclusions

Superb in every respect. Screenplay from a complex, powertul story; acting; directing; Nico Muhly's music. Ralph Fiennes is almost always moving; Kate Winslett is persuading me to her side. Lena Olin in the final scene as the survivor: astounding.

David Kross is very good looking, the movie was Excellent! I felt sorry for Kate Winslet!
