Review of Cold Mountain (2003) by Erik M — 31 Oct 2014
Cold Mountain offers an epic storyline set during the twilight of the Civil War about a confederate soldier who escapes the war to return to his beloved. The storytelling for the most part is good, but there are some pacing problems in between.
The performances from the leads are good, but the show stealer is Renà (C)e Zellweger as Ruby, a friend of Ada Monroe (Nicole Kidman). The direction is good overall, although it could have been better and the film has gorgeous cinematography.
Although some of the drama did not have the effect it was supposed to, the overall experience is satisfying, an epic civil war romance with high production values and a worth-while story. A solid adaptation to the novel.
