Elizabeth M @RT03976099 Sep 12 I loved this movie. It’s ambitious .It grapples with complex, adult issues, and portrays an existential time for America and Europe right after the First World War. It both captures ,and clarifies ,the intriguing first novel of Hemingway. It’s an intellectual movie packaged as a Hollywood blockbuster. I think it confused critics for that reason. Errol Flynn is brilliant as an ironic drunk and Ava Gardner is… well Ava Gardner… in all her glory. Nobody could have played her part better.

Almost all film adaptions from books are a disappointment, and not having read the book, it was fine with it. move anyway!

You can kind of see what the screenwriters were going for, forcing a bit more structure into the story, but even at over 2 hours it still mostly just feels like an agglomeration of random scenes without any emotional glue to keep them together.
