I'm fully aware that this is a 4 star movie - but I just couldn't help it - I rated 5 stars! The images are beautiful, the score is amazing and for a second I thought that ending was dissaponting but a minute later I figured it was just as it had to be! Don't know if this makes any sense but all in all - the movie is great!
