It took three tries to watch this all the way through. The first time I was annoyed by the story line about half way through. The second time I found the story line too painful to stay with about 2/3 through. The third time was a revelation. It was completely plausible and extraordinary in affect. One cannot help but be greatly moved. In the end, there is a great deal of inspiration and satisfaction which is bittersweet. It is one of those films I have savored long after. Both leads are just incredible and though I was already a big Vikander fan, I am getting more and more enamored with the ability of Fassbender. This is a very special film and I hope many more see it all the way through.
