The movie manages both senses of scale—the intimate and the expansive—with equal majesty, merging them into something moving, mesmerizing, and poetic, in a way only Lean movies could really manage. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorDavid Sterritt
In short, they don't make 'em like this one anymore. Viewing it is like taking a time machine to a movie age that was more naive than our own in some ways, more sophisticated and ambitious in others. Read full review

Lawrence is back on the big screen, and it simply demands to be seen. Yes, again. Read full review
