Despite the film’s good intentions, the lovers are a saintly, insipid pair and like all the characters, too lightly sketched.

The start of the movie was a bit messy and felt disorganised. Honestly, just looking at the beginning, I was so disappointed I almost turned off the TV. But as it went into the middle, the conflicts slowly became clearer and it got quite interesting. The chase scene on the final mountain was fun too. Above all, I really liked the lead actress.
