Though, I believe, some main reasons were missing or needed more exploration I think you’ll find it’s easy to clue on whether you’ve read the novels or not. Some previously main characters were lucky to slip in a line or two whilst several of the more minor characters sneaked their way up to the top.

The film was remarkably directed. Audio, lighting, script; everything was flawless. Various moments had my body crawling and heart beating faster for virtually no reason other then the fact that it was utterly eerie, it was hard not to grip the armrests in anticipation.

Dramatic musical build up mixed perfectly with lingering silences in all the right places. Spots that would usually host a soft violin were left with the honest and real quiet so that you could wrap your head around everything.

My emotions were chewed up and spit out over and over, I didn’t know whether to grieve, cheer, try to laugh or scream and neither did the audience I was with.

By the end I couldn’t think of the fact that it was the end of an era, I couldn’t even grasp everything that had happened which is why I’ll be going to see it for the third time soon.

Have nice day!
