I'm conflicted about this film.
The scenery is fantastic, lovely, beautiful locations.
A forbidden situation, in and of itself, tragic.
A sensitive topic that shouldn't be so.
I feel one of the main male characters simply should have been played by someone else because he couldn't pull off the profound intensity needed for this particular story. I won't mention which one, but you'll figure it out.
It's emotive, which is good.
But, I feel like the forbidden (at the time) situation is overwhelming present throughout in a way that's sort of aggravating. I would have enjoyed some extension of the rest of what these characters were all about, because only one facet of their lives was the focal point. A mistake many stories make. To draw more subtly upon that topic, interwoven more heavily inside what the characters were BEYOND that ...would have made this a much better film.
I also found it quite slow.
Still glad I watched it.
