The 2.39:1 1080p picture, reviewed on a VIZIO Quantum X P85QX-JI UHD/HDR display, was photographed digitally using the Arri Alexa LF and Arri Alexa Mini LF camera systems and sourced from a 2K master Digital Intermediate format. The picture exhibits naturalness throughout with a rich and warm color palette, Hues are wonderfully realistic and one can get lost in the story and Maurio Fiore's cinematography. Flesh tones are perfectly hued. Contrast is excellent with deep natural black levels, revealing shadow delineation and naturally bright white levels. Resolution is superb throughout with fine detail exhibited in facial features such as skin pores, lines, tears, body hair, beard stubble and hair. Clothing textures are realistic. Object textures exhibit perfect realism, This is a wonderfully realistic picture with every frame perfectly framed and rendered. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel soundtrack is dialogue focused with good spatial integration. Atmospherics really enhance the realism and sound effects are effective as well. Foley sound effects nicely enhance the realism. The music is light and emotionally effective. Bass sounds natural throughout, Surround energy is subtle but nicely enveloping. This is an emotionally fine soundtrack that perfectly supports the story. (Gary Reber)
