    Pretty good adaptation of the Hesse classic. One of Max von Sydow's best roles. 10 years 8 months ago

    A literal adaptation of Hesse's novel that is middling until the third act which turns the weakest part of the book into the film's biggest strength. 9 years ago

    Although overall faithful to the plot of the book, it greatly fails to dramatize its ideas in a cinematic way. Unevenly paced, it verges towards episodic incoherence and ultimately, unlike, Hesse's masterwork fails to engage neither on an emotional nor on an intellectual level. Max von Sydow was certainly a good choice for the main character but most of the supporting actors are shrill and inadequate. A failure. 10 years 2 months ago
