Good Enough

from USA
Translating a book of length/complexity into a movie requires details be left out. Too much book for one movie. It is effective & entertaining. (Edited/directed better than the utterly abysmal C.O.S.)
The youngster playing young L.V.--R.Fiennes nephew--is absolutely chilling. That bit of nepotism is infinitely forgivable; he is stunningly perfect. Complaints re: lack of an "ending" may relate to the fact that it doesn't end with D's memorial, which provides closure to the book. Guess: They will open the next w/ that; occurances & perceptions there drive much of the final storyline.
Overall, a fine adaptation; non-readers should be able to follow, effects are clean, and the acting is quite credible.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
