"Slow paced, but it works with the story. Great performance by lead actor, and I liked Depp’s role/performance. I liked the location/set design, and the cinematography (particularly of the scenery) was very nice. "

"This is my ultimate hidden gem rec for drama and indie movie lovers! Emotional, beautiful, and excellent score. Mark Rylance doesn’t fail as the main lead, accompanied by the equally talented Johnny Depp and Robbert Pattinson who are perfect for their roles. Transport to a different time and place and enjoy as the story unfolds. "

"Mark Rylance was so, so good in this. There is far less of Johnny Depp and Robert Pattinson in this then I was expecting from the advertisements. They still manage to turn out good performances in the small amounts of screen time that they have though #drama #robertpattinson #johnnydepp #markrylance "
