The 1994 version is what always comes to mind and I was really excited to see this because I like Laura Dern, Timothee Chalamet, and Saorsia Ronin. Sad to say, i didn't even finish this one.
It begins with the ending and there's too many flashbacks. I enjoy this style when it's a mystery or thriller but not necessarily a romance drama. It made it too difficult to witness the love story which is the heart of it. It simply didn't flow.
You also didn't get a chance to really fall in love with the characters. Many of them fell flat, as If the dialogue was spoken by a bunch of modern people who time travel and are speaking modern lingo in a different era. It felt weird and I'm not sure if I've fully put my finger on why.
Teddy , played by Chalame, had zero charm. Again, too modern for the story.
Why is Amy 20 when she's 12?
Why is Friedrich French?
So many things were just off.
If you love the 1994 version, skip this.
Please God, may they keep their filthy hands off of Legends of the Fall.
