This movie is well directed, scored, and edited. The cinematography is sweeping for a movie that is supposed to be more about the story line. The director sets the mood with the overall color, music, and editing. There are nuances in it that are subtle, and it takes seeing it a number of times to discover what the director was trying to show us. I especially love the way the actor who plays Bella's father, Charlie, (Billie Burke) portrays him so naturally in each scene. I did not read the book or books, but love seeing this one over and over.
What's great about it: Direction, editing, cinematography, acting
