First thing first, I have not read the book, so I can not make any comparison to the original material.
Story was great and had certainly evoked some emotion, nothing to complain about that. It did feel as if women were not represented well for their time, they did go for some empowerment but at the same time women kinda do end up as wives and just become more secondary on a societal level. Which is absolutely normal for civil war times, but for some reason except the main character the other women do not struggle in such a society and its hardship is not depicted that well, at least in my opinion. That is not a major critique, one could really sympathize with the main character and experience all of the hardships(even though it felt like struggle was downplayed and would've been harder in real life) through her eyes and that part is definitely one of the most valuable parts of the movie.
Generally movie geared itself up to be close to realism while you know.. still being a movie and not being too boring, all the actors did their part very well, though it did not feel as there was a lot of moments where the acting could've shone a little better, emotional scenes were cut a bit short and dry for my taste.
Going back and forth between past and present was done well except in the beginning it was very confusing.
Well overall it was a solid movie and definitely one should see. 7/10
