Let me start by saying that I highly appreciate Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst as actors. They usually steal the screen and make you care for their characters even if you don't like the story. But not this time and not together. I couldn't care less if they're going to live happily ever after, I couldn't understand why are they so attracted to each other and most of all, I couldn't see it and feel it at all. No chemistry at all, maybe even below zero. And my humble opinion is that Jim should stick to more dramatic parts and cut down love interest parts, although he was amazing in One day. He was solid in this one, but he couldn't save the movie. Kirsten on the other hand was awful (for the first time, and I've seen many of her work). Her acting was bad, unconvincing, her voice was too cat-ish:), her laugh and her facial expressions forced and artificial. But the visuals, oh my God, they were perfect. I haven't seen anything so beautiful in a long time. So 10 for the visuals, 8 for Spall, 7 for Sturgess, 1 for Dunst and 1 for storytelling.
