Though interestingly acted, the movie is ultimately disappointing.
Billy Bob played up the romance--the least interesting part of the
novel--and left out the more complex ideas that make McCarthy
worth reading. (Biggest crime: cutting the Duena Alfonsa almost
entirely out of the story.) I had high hopes, but found the movie
simplistic and dull.
