The cast is great, but the film itself seemed to me to be drawn out.

Ralph Fiennes, as always, is great.

I'm not going to lie, watching the first half of the movie, I thought - why do people write rave reviews when cheating is on the screens? It's terrible, he's courting and sleeping with a married lady, she's shamelessly walking behind her husband's back. And you call that strong love?

But after an hour and a half, I changed my mind about the movie. War, betrayal, revenge, love... Everything intervened. And it turned out strongly!
