This is a great movie giving us a little insight into the early life of J.R.R. Tolkien. I think many reviewers and critics have forgotten that his is a dramatization of his life and not a documentary. It is a very well directed, well acted and basically true to his early life. Is it a perfectly accurate depiction? No. Is it highly entertaining and a good overview of Tolkien's early life? Yes I would recommend this to everyone. Especially Tolkien fans who are willing to take the movie for what it is. A dramatic movie about a great novelist who's life is as interesting as his books.

The movie I feel brought out thing about Mr. Tolkien that I did not Know about his life , I have read all his books and have all the movie made about his books but this was a great telling of his life before the books.

Very good movie about the life of the author of Hobbit. Like other have said in their reviews is that this movie has very hard to find and that Best Buy was the only one who had it and was region 1.

I always knew the books came from the authors life experiences and faith, it was fasinating to see it portrayed on the big screen. It is a keeper,!!!!

Excellent depiction of Tolkien's life story. A very creative life development from very poor circumstances.
