The movie is good in what it tries to achieve underneath its main approach of being a romance drama but then the side-stories of the movie are so good that they really suppress the main storyline for 90% of the movie. The cast is so brilliant here any of their meetings are funny as well as heartbreaking with enough tension when required. James serves as a decent anchor but she is definitely overshadowed by the elder cast here. Huisman serves as the typical "farm boy who does the right thing always" character and is unable to rise above the eye-candy role here.

The war aspects are where the movie is the BEST specially the search for Elizabeth. The ending is your typical romantic turn-around which doesn't feel earned but the actors pull it off well. This needed more time on screen to have the book portrayed properly because at times there are a lot of sub-plots that are introduced but not given a satisfactory conclusion.

7/10
