One of those movies that you shouldn't watch if you just want to pass the time. A movie that you have to think about and try to understand the motivation behind the actions of its characters.
Impressive acting, especially Brad Pitt, who plays a confused man and Anthony Hopkins - a tough, determined father of a family, who has been through the war and wants to protect his children from it. It's hard to believe that the actors are acting. They seem to be living in their roles.
The whole movie is built on regret. Tristan, who made the mistake of betraying his love, doesn't yet know that years later he will want to make it right. Susanna, afraid of loneliness, also does not suspect that one day she may regret her decision. Her husband, who can't fully come to terms with the idea that he will never find in her heart a mutual feeling for him ...
The anguish, the torment, of the protagonists who cannot change the past. Who increasingly return to the time when they could still make things right. Who realize how difficult it is to live a lie, deceiving first of all not others, but themselves ...
A movie that can be talked about for hours, but it must be seen. To love, hate, despise or sympathize with its characters.
