The works of Tolkien are seminal and this film tries to pull gently from his first 24 years the threads that may have begun the weave of those later writings. It is also a story of the love within a brotherhood. And, the love of Tolkien for Edith Bratt, played beautifully by Nicholas Hoult and Lily Collins. It's a quiet film with beautiful photography, music and performances and it takes its time to interlace the emotions and images, so this is not a movie for the restless. I give this film a 7 (good) out of 10. {Biographical Drama}
