Cameo central
By a customer from Norwich UK , 01 Jan 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
'Cold Mountain' is a wonder to behold. Seriously. Remember that it comes directed by Anthony Minghella, the guy who brought us yawnfest 'The English Patient'. I know that it won awards, but it was still three hours of dust.
'Cold Mountain', on the other hand, is three hours of spotting brilliant cameos from Philip Seymour Hoffman to Giovanni Ribisi, from Natalie Portman to the much discussed Jack White (which is how he and Zellwegger got together). It's beautifully made and easily digestible, despite the emotionally difficult material. The opening scene deals with a massacre within the American Civil War. You don't know any of these characters and yet Minghella manages to infuse the scene with enough empathy to make me feel sad for the dead, and hope for the living.
Essentially an American Odyssey as Law makes his way back to his sweetheart Kidman, this story of two halves compliment each other. We join Law on his long walk home, then Kidman as she struggles to live through the war where there are just as many dangers at home from the Sheriff Ray Winstone andhis trigger happy henchmen (including Charlie 'Nicholas Nickleby' Hunnam).
Watch this if you like something to get your teeth into, or take an interest in the American Civil War. It's no chick flick, but a thoughtful and well-acted epic which shows the range of human emotions afflicted at times of stress.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Gaudete (26 reviews) , 10 May 2013Such a beautiful film. Stunning scenery, and an excellent cast headed by Jude Law who plays the part so well. Box of tissues is highly recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

A well made Dramatic & Romantic epic film
By Eirianlys (19 reviews) , 28 Mar 2013[Highly rated reviewer]
Dramatic story, A well made film, Directed well & acting is good by all involved especially by the girl (Renee Zellweger who I think deserves an Oscar) who comes to help Nichole Kidman, Jude Law also gives a good performance. The story switches to & fro from the civil war conflict & the prewar Romantic story when they first met, as he struggles back home. Well worth watching.- Was this review helpful to you?

Great Film
By Otter379 (55 reviews) , 23 Mar 2013Good performances set in the sumptuous wilds of America in the 1800s. Star-studded with one surprising cameo after another. Down-side the Blu-Ray isn't a great transfer. Still a great film.- Was this review helpful to you?
