I saw someone say they wished there had been more about Tom's WWI, but when I read the book, I realized that his perspective would be by far the most difficult to transfer to the screen. Most of his characterization is communicated through two different flashbacks that break up the narrative arc. He's starts out in the novel as someone who has already experienced tragedy and been formed by it and is mostly a reactive character. Whereas Isabel is somewhat unformed and changes drastically due to the action of the plot.

Video review of TLBO from a male Cianfrance fan who attended that Dallas preview screening:

Overall, he thought it was great. He had a couple problems with it but he had those same problems with the source material.

Thanks for sharing. Really interesting that so many men are enjoying what's supposed to be a "chick flick". Maybe it's the Cianfrance effect?

He praises the performances and Michael and Alicia's chemistry.

Liked he used "Fassy". :p

Not terribly important, but I'm curious if the music playing in the background was from the soundtrack. I know they released the list of the tracks already.

Cool, I liked this review, this guy is nice! He loves Cianfrance, Fassbender, Vikander. He praised the movie (very loyal to the book, which is amazing) and the chemistry between the two actors (which I was sure about since everyone is noticing it and it's pretty palpable..!). I'm happy he's a fan of Cianfrance's work, cause I loved his previous movies too, and if the style of TLBO is similar to TPBTP and BV's, then it's gorgeous for me.
I'm amazed by how men are loving this movie, but not surprised: I knew, reading the book, there was something universal in this story, and I'm glad the movie shows it too. Got my father reading the book now and he's a poet, so he's pretty fussy when it comes to books (if you're not Proust there's no way to be considered a good writer in his opinion lol) but he's enjoying it, he's really fascinated by Tom's personal story and Isabel's apparently carefree and "light" personality bringing light into his "darknesss".

Thank you for this video. :)

    @DavidPoland You don't know how relaxing it is to read a DP Oscar column. (Although I would wager on The Light Between Oceans. Gut feeling.)

  2. @AndrewRostan I love the film, actually. September and two somewhat unavailable leads are trouble

I'm hopeful TLBO can overcome the release date; Michael is renowned for his lack of campaigning appetite but Alicia certainly puts in the effort! With Michael not having any filming this Autumn she could well motivate him if the film attracts awards attention.

Haha yay could be.
Tbh he's taking his break so he will surely promote his next movies.. I'm sure he'll do something for TLBO if it's going to be an Oscar contender. Not sure yet, tho!
Btw this time they're both attending to premieres etc so I am glad :)
