About
You may enjoy this if you like melancholy, music-filled historical romances with a restrained tone and strong performances; Not for you if you need a fast pace, clear plotting, or a more satisfying conclusion, like in The Guitar.
Pros: strong cast moments; memorable music; striking costumes and sets | Cons: slow pacing; uneven, disjointed story; weak emotional payoff
