the previous comment suggest fast forwarding through the movie to the denouement . if you do this you will lack a true understanding of just how important the choice make in the end be to the character sybylla . unless you watch a movie in it entirety you can not say you have truly see the movie . a movie may also move at a pace that you be not use to and the pace of a specific film be choose for a reason . if the viewer stop to think about just why the final cut move at that pace he or she may glean something quite important about that particular film . beauty be in the eye of beholder . australia do not possess ( in the area where this movie be film ) bold color and subtlety be what be wont for this film . i rat it quite highly for many reason include judy davis acting and the strength with which the director be able to convey it message and the strong supporting cast and the exquisite shot ( particularly in their composition ) often lengthy in duration that so wonderfully show what action or adventure film can not include again subtlety and nuance and the ability to make the viewer actually think both during and for long after the film be view .
