Viewing Notes

A really well done period crime/mystery set in the early 1900s. The pacing is perfect and the clues and minor sub-plots are tied in well without being distracting or too obvious.

Korean, Chinese and Japanese cinema does such a great job with period movies, the likes of which we don’t see out of Hollywood anymore.
