    A sleeper that's well worth hunting down. Its rewards sneak up on you, but then linger long afterwards.

    This director's (Winterbottom) reach is impressive, but this time it doesn't quite grasp.
  3. The film feels inauthentic, a cardboard version of other epics that's cast for distribution to various world markets.
