“This was an absolutely stunning film. It is amazing to me that a director with relatively minimal experience can produce a masterpiece like this film. The story, the dialogue, acting, the costumes, the set decorations, the locations. Everything was absolutely pitch perfect. If only Hollywood could make films this good. I understand why it won so many awards. An absolutely stunning achievement.”
