The movie's title comes from one of the author's original works but the title of this review could serve just as well. The movie does something that films very rarely reach and that is portrayal of real life without attempting to insert events that shake the world. The film is content to portray the moving events of the original story with the calm and compassion that actually occurred. That is a rare perspective and the acting ensemble does a masterful job at driving their characters. From the main protagonists to the fragile/strong portrayal of the American Indian girl on Brad Pitt's arm. And, always there is the sacred art of fly casting fishing in the river that runs through the lives of the story.
