Review

i’ve never read the book, but i would venture a guess that it’s better than the film. the film is good, don’t get me wrong, but, other than peck’s performance, it doesn’t seem to elevate the story in any meaningful way. the visual style and score don’t really build upon the story or the characters, so far as i could tell. “purists” might be put off by the voice-over narration and the fact that the film doesn’t do much more than retell the story.
