A rare piece of contemporary classical cinema; its virtues of methodical storytelling, traditional style and obsessive theme are ones that would have been recognized and embraced anytime from the 1930s through the 1970s.
It makes no major dramatic missteps, yet it could have used an added dimension - something to make the two-hour-and-20-minute running time feel like a transformative journey rather than an epic anecdotal crusade.
An attempt at an entirely different kind of film for Gray, and the results are revelatory and expansive while also true to his own complicated creative character.
A film which harks back to an era of courageous filmmaking, and for that James Gray should be commended.
It's a curious film in some ways, taking what could be an exciting epic adventure in the style of David Lean and turning it into something introspective, slightly morose and anti-climactic. Yet there is a persistent, beady-eyed intelligence at work.
There aren't many directors working today with the same ambition and exquisite craftsmanship of James Gray.
