Should have been trimmed to 90 mins. Too long for the content. Solid production design, costumes, makeup, excellent locations too. Cinematography and lighting can't complain either. It's the drawn out content and saccharine sentimentality that was bothersome. It's a candidate for the style: can I skim view it and still get it. Yes, I can. Blame it on the direction.
