COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Fair Movie submitted by mcreader on July 6, 2018, 10:23am The movie seems to try to cover a lot of topics/areas: history, romance, cinematography, drama, adventure, etc... It is a fine film to watch. I just wish they went into the characters into more depth-plot is fairly simplistic. The movie's ending seemed rushed. Overall, the movie is recommendable if you want a simple, relaxing film.
