"As starkly beautiful as it is harshly uncompromising". Alas no everyone agreed.. Canadian actor Roy Dupuis was strongly critical of the movie for portraying French-Canadian voyageurs as murderous rapists.
Old adage." you cant please everyone"
I have to say I didn't enjoy the film, despite agreeing with your first quotation.
Quite a film imo, but as you say, its disconcerting to say least, hence you have to be in the mood i think Barry.Quote:

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a critical score of 99% from 99 reviews with an average rating of 9.2/10 and a critical consensus of "With his electrifying performance in Elia Kazan's thought-provoking, expertly constructed melodrama, Marlon Brando redefined the possibilities of acting for film and helped permanently alter the cinematic landscape". Brando's performance is regarded as one of the watershed moments in the history of movies.
"Some people think the Crucifixion only took place on Calvary. They better wise up!"
I'm not a fan of DiCrapio. Usually miscast and definitely overrated.

An excellent film.Quote:
