Slow and boring with great photography
I am mystified as to why people have been recommending this film to me. I found it so slow that even playing it at 1.25X speed, I had to press the '10 seconds forward' button many more times than once.
Yes, Mr Cumberbatch is good, and so is Smit-McPhee, and their characters are very well developed, but I found the character of Rose annoying and poor George just disappears after a while, not to be seen until his new wife collapses outdoors.
No spoilers but the end of the film had me shouting, "That's it???" in amazement.
I can't recommend this at all, unless you like nice? Scenery.
