The Water Diviner

— A somewhat tedious but lovingly photographed tale of a father looking for his sons' remains after the battle of Gallipoli. It’s easy to see why so few people saw this film (DVD). The dialogue's not very good, the story’s a little farfetched, and the camera spends a little too long looking longingly at things. Crowe’s direction is weak but Crowe’s acting is the film’s saving grace. I’d wait for it to be on late night, free TV.
