About
You’ll like Lord Jim if you enjoy brooding redemption stories and sweeping period adventure in distant ports and rivers; Not for you if you want a tight, fast-moving plot or dislike sentimental melodrama like Sweet Bird of Youth or Lawrence of Arabia.
Pros: compelling redemption theme; strong performances; big adventure scope | Cons: overlong pacing; uneven tone; dialog criticisms
