Turgid drama but great performances

Such story as there is moves at a snail's pace. The four and a half hours could readily be condensed into three. There's a lot of coughing, sniffing and reading out or narrating letters. It really fails narratively. However, Holm gives a great central performance and the child performances are all strong. The sound is terrible, with background noise overwhelming the dialogue in many scenes but the detailed sets convey the period effectively.
