Title: Diamond in the Rough
Product review: An very good film, but not for everyone. It has a slow and deliberate pace with very little action. It's all about the story and the mood, not special effects. The acting and casting was excellent, with the exception of Elijah Wood. While he does a good job acting, I think he was miscast in his role. The musical score is fantastic as is the directing and cinematography. It all helps to set the mood.The only place where Ash Wednesday falls short is in the lack of depth to the story. Burns did a good job with it, but would have been well advised to enlist the aid of a co-writer. I can't help but feel the story was lacking a certain ingredient that would have really brought it alive.Ash Wednesday could have been a masterpiece but the storyline doesn't quite make it.That said, Ash Wednesday is very good and I highly recommend it. Most films you pick will not be as good.
