Adrien Brody is fantastic and he really anchors this film. It is gorgeous and the music is phenomenal. I couldn’t believe this wasn’t based on real life or some sort of literary source.
I feel like the ending was a tiny bit rushed? And Joe Alwyn’s acting was a bit dodgy at times. That being said this is definitely a film that will stay with you.
I really enjoyed this, I appreciated how it didn’t follow the typical rise-fall-learning-comeback format of most musical biopics
I think this is one of the best war films I have seen in a long time but I do question the changes made to the original plot of Remarque’s book. I understand that book to film adaptations cannot be totally faithful to the original source material but I feel like if deviations are made they need to be justified and still stay loyal to the central themes of that material and I’m not sure if that happens with this…
