I have never written a review before but I just have to add some balance to this. It is obvious that the other reviews are from people that either worked on it or are family members.
DO NOT believe the hype, this movie is very slow, the acting is wooden and the ending offers no explanation. I was fortunate enough to have watched this at a screening as I would be angry if I actually paid for it.
It starts of well, a garden setting with a family of sorts in a line. The period costume design is also superb, I will give it that. I personally would have added a bit more color to the scene but that's just me.
After this first scene is where the director really drops the ball! Instead of making the man walk in a clockwise manner as is standard practice he took the unorthodox decision to make him walk anti-clockwise! Can you believe it! From there it just gets linear as the man proceeds to walk in a straight line. If you are thinking that it will pick up after this scene then think again! It just ends abruptly with no explanation at all. This seems to be a common practice at the moment, let the viewer figure it all out. That's a cop out!
3/10 would have given it a one but the costumes accurately portrayed the period judging by old movies I have watched.
Save your money and go see Sallie Gardner at a Gallop by Eadweard Muybridge.
