benar-benar bikin campur aduk. Sedih, kecewa, kagum, tapi juga hangat di saat yang sama.
Filmnya tenang dan penuh dialog, suka banget, itu yang bikin emosinya kerasa. Hubungan tiap karakter ditulis dengan manusiawi, rasanya kayak lihat dua orang yang saling memahami tapi juga saling menghancurkan. Dan tatapan tiap karakternya juga kerasa punya arti lebih dari yang mereka ucapkan.

Thank god Tolstoy never met you! We'd have that great novel "War and Nothing".
this movie would be so dull for someone uninterested in writing but personally i quite enjoyed it. in fact i was surprised how much i liked it.
id say this movie was interesting like how natgeo would be a snoozefest for someone who isn’t remotely interested in wildlife but fascinating and an eye opener for someone who likes the wildelife—if that analogy makes sense (it’s a little exaggerated but walk with me)
see, i was mostly surprised because considering jude law’s questionable filmography i quite liked this movie. one thing, he should never try and portray a southern man… like ever again holy hell. even worse this wasn’t his first offence

great cast in a super forgettable movie. i’m usually partial to anything set in the 1920s so i don’t totally consider this a waste of time but i can see why some would. nicole kidman doesn’t get to do much unfortunately but jude law gives a great performance and ofc it’s always a pleasure to see colin firth.
