JOURNEY’S END (DVD Release USA 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Starsìììì

Journey’s End—WOW!—has a terrific storyline, outstanding acting, and complicated storyline that demands total involvement. The downside is that it is slow, almost boring. But the acting, portrayal, and storyline carries the slowness. Great work for Director Saul Dibbs for a film that may not have seen value at this time, but definitely, over time, will ripen and be hailed as an outstanding film that was presented ahead of its time.
