the snow budget on this movie must've been crazy
As a massive Lawrence of Arabia fan, I was extremely disappointed by this. I genuinely don’t understand what is driving the plot forward. I have no interest in the characters, or where they end up. There’s some pretty shots in it but overall, extremely boring. It took me a couple days to get through. If this review is boring, I’m sorry but at least it’s not as long as Dr. Zhivago.
