    It's really a 4.5 but they play mantra by Jennie in it so it automatically receives a 5 from me

    It's mature filmmaking that requires patience and attentiveness but ultimately does not reward its viewers with anything of much merit. I suppose if this type of storytelling is your soft spot, I would recommend it. If you are looking for something with more depth or craft, this will likely disappoint.

    Extremely overrated. Cartoonish characters and performances, clunky tonal shifts. There is nothing I found to be cinematic about this film. One of the worst war films and probably the worst I have seen of the criterion collection

    I wish there were a zero star rating. The scene where Ruffalo is sent into a euphoric dream state from Knightley's bland tune, where he imagines the various instruments playing themselves is unspeakably cringe to the point where it damn near transcends embarrassing. It doesn't end there. If I were John Carney, I would want to be exiled or sent to Mars if I knew I had made this.
