My reviews are more how movies touch me emotionally.  I enjoyed the realness of life shared, no overly strong good vs bad.  The romance is what seems normal in life, enjoyable and touching.  It's a beautiful movie in many ways.  I'm not a fly fisherman, but I loved learning and seeing the art of it.  For the time of 1915..., the pastoral father did not buy into scripture that says spank "spare the rod spoil the child" - seems unusual for that day.  He drew me closer to him over time; while stoic he comes through with love; this surprised me in a pleasant way.  I was touched by sibling love that is pure and enduring; this is the best part - saying less is more.  Good life messages are shared. I like the narrative style, pondering and insightful about a life from beginning to end.
