An archaeologist embarks on the historically important excavation of Sutton Hoo in 1938.
“Exquisite performances from its leading cast anchor this visually stunning historical drama. While it captures the quiet intensity of archaeological discovery, the film's narrative loses focus with contrived romantic subplots. It is a beautiful film, but its storytelling falters when it deviates from its core subject.”
Viewers who appreciate meticulously crafted historical dramas with strong performances, beautiful cinematography, and a contemplative pace, even if the narrative occasionally meanders.
