All the Light We Cannot See

I thought it was mostly well done. I read the book maybe 6 years ago.

I don't get all the negativity around it.

Thoughts?

And are therefore hesitant to watch the movie--sometimes a disappointment. Thanks for the update.

And even though the show is in my queue, I'm putting off watching it.

But all in all, worth the time. The sets, the cast, the pacing are all great. I give it a B.
It's nice to see Hugh Laurie get work.

I'm really enjoying it. It's great to see Ruffalo and Laurie but the actors I don't recognize, playing the blind girl and the German soldier, are just plain wonderful. Thanks for posting this as it wasn't on my radar.
