    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      As the Seekers wear completely white clothing throughout this movie, including in the desert sequences, it was a tedious process for the costume designers and make-up artists to constantly clean the clothes whenever they became dirty, which was often.
    • Goofs
      When crossing the desert on foot, Melanie tells Wanda to walk only on rocks so as to leave no tracks. The cave-dwellers, however, drive 7.5tonne Mercedes trucks in and out.

    Definitely underrated

    This is a smart movie and I really loved every second of it, I should admit that first 15 minutes of the movie is slow and you should wait...you will see how it gets you!! Trust me and watch this movie with all your sole, you have to listen and understand what is happening. This movie has beautiful scenes and amazing music, OMG the music just melts in you and you lives in there. Finally Saoirse Ronan just killed it, specially the way she tells the story, you are connected to the movie soon and enjoy watching it, I remember her play in "the lovely bones" she is more mature now and always she's been consistent and so talented actress. This is one of my favorite movies ever. 8/10
