A beautiful story about tragedy, loss and friendship. A bit long but otherwise beautiful story

Some parts slow moving. Great concept

It was too lengthy, and the story was a bit tough to follow, but the acting was superior, and kept my interest until the end.

I thought his movie had some very strong performances even if the story fell a little flat in some spots. My understanding is that it strayed heavily from the book which I had not read. However, I did find the performances of Jeffrey Wright and the young actors for some of the main characters very strong.
