I LOVED the book LOVED IT . I have anxiously waited for the adaptation .
1) DEAR PRODUCERS ... stop rewriting history !! The Black actors were great ! BUT there were basically no black in the Soviet Union then and now . This drives me CRAZY. Something campy like Bridgerton, I could ok , let it go . BUT not in a serious show where the HISTORY is central to the plot .
2) I was not expecting Ewan McGregor as Rostov. I am DELIGHTED by his performance. I think he did FANTASTIC .
3)The directing and cinema photography was sublime.
4) The actor that plays the evil commie hotel manager did a wonderful job .. I have pure hatred for him.
I gave this 8/10 because of color blind casting. I would have done less except everything else was superb .
