We appreciate movies based on true stories that encourage the viewer to think on a deeper level. This movie examined perspectives from many sides on the meaning of life and longing without being preachy or stiff. The romance was super enjoyable to watch unfold (with relatable trust issues). The visual experience was beautiful, and the fantastic camerawork of the setting of Oxford's colleges was a particular treat. We appreciated being able to feel we were actually there! Good writing and character growth are our favorite parts of a good movie, and this had the best of both. Thanks to the makers of this movie!
What I enjoyed most about this film is the setting - Oxford. The closer look at academia and the passions some students and professors have for English literature were special to me because I taught English to high schoolers. Seeing the haughty attitudes of several professors made me wonder if the pursuit of knowledge is all it's touted to be. The group dialogues beau between students and professors were interesting because you had to listen carefully to follow all of them - and then you wanted to think about whether you agreed or disagreed and with whom. Several times I questioned whether the main character's reactions to her pursuer were justified, but I admired his persistence (and his humility in letting her find her way into belief). I'll watch this several times more just for the scenery!
