Even though the target audience is probably 30 years my senior, I still enjoyed it quite a bit
36, ‘Enigma’ Variation 9: NimrodComposed by Edward ElgarPerformed by Slovenian Radio Symphony Orchestra (as Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra) & Adrian Leaper (Conductor)Licensed courtesy of Naxos Music UK Ltd. As a fan of Lewis' work (though far from being an expert on the guy) I was very interested in seeing this film.
Hopkins and Goode's performances really carry the film
Normally, I struggle with movies that use a lot of flashbacks to tell the story but it was done here in such a way as was helpful and not distracting or disorienting.I do wish the script had been a bit stronger. There were a couple scenes that seemed to fizzle out rather than having a much needed emphatic response, mostly on Lewis's end.Overall I liked the film and would see it again.
