      Featuring beautifully matched performances from Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan set against gorgeously filmed English countryside, The Dig yields period drama treasures.

      Audience Says

      Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan tap the tear ducts with this great-looking historical romance -- it's slow, but it'll make you feel like you've been to the British countryside before World War II.

      Johannes S The Dig is a heartwarming movie led by the amazing performances of Fiennes and Mulligan as well as beautiful cinematography of England's countryside. However, in my opinion, the plotline surrounding the love story takes away from these strong elements, ultimately bloating the movie unnecessarily. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Andrea C Elegante dramma storico che basa le sue fondamenta su fatti realmente accaduti. Molto ben evidenziato e comprensibile il contesto a cavallo dell'inizio della seconda guerra mondiale. Tantissima attenzione è poi posta sui protagonisti ma in generale quasi la totalità dei personaggi, a prescindere dalla loro importanza, ad avere una personalità definita e a destare interesse per motivi differenti. Altissima attenzione è prestata alla fotografia, poetica e davvero ben riuscita in zone poco note al cinema. Per piccoli tratti probabilmente il ritmo è leggermente troppo basso ma si adatta alla perfezione ai luoghi e alla fotografia. L'unica vera pecca è l'assenza di qualche cenno in più alla storia vera, di quelle fotografie che così tanti richiami hanno durante la pellicola e che vengono invece limitate alla ricostruzione attoriale. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Samuel S Atmospheric, nice story, good message. Nice visuals. A good old time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review Donald R We enjoyed the movie, good plot, Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/08/24 Full Review Ben D A Beautiful story, well acted and directed - they don't make many movies like this anymore. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Lukas K There is not a thing wrong with the movie. The acting, pacing and camera is impeccable.
