Review of The Way Back (2011) by Nyhawk808 — 11 Dec 2014
Beautiful visuals and a great cast but the connections aren't well developed or even fully explored between the characters and the audience or between the characters themselves. Saoirse Ronan adds an element of life to the group that was badly needed but never manages to pull the group together in a way that I could find satisfying.
Difficult scenes like the escape from the Siberian camp were done entirely too briskly in favor of more long, drawn out travel scenes which still don't use the time to effectively connect you to the cast.
Worth watching but clearly a film that could have been much more.
