Review of The Water Diviner (2014) by Slayde11 — 07 Aug 2015
This is a stellar gem of a film. Deeply moving and just brimming with heart and soul, The Water Diviner is a film about gut-wrenching loss, perseverance, hope and fractured, imperfect redemption. Its themes are universal; its cinematography is striking; its score is both subtle and breathtaking; and its lead performances are poignant and spot-on.
Whatever may be said about the accuracy and/or omission of certain details and events, the story at its heart is about a quest driven by the purest and most powerful form of love. It also serves as a cautionary commentary about the horrors and futility of war; and an uplifting testament to the fire and resilience of the human spirit.
Exquisitely stirring and thought-provoking from beginning to end.
