It doesn't have traditional plot acts or dramatic beats. The two men are friends but often don't get along; this is worse back in England when factions take sides in their disputes. The film hints at attraction between them that they may not realize themselves.
Those are some of the reasons the movie is so powerful for me.
It is unlike any historical epic I have seen before.
I watched it for the first time last night and it made such an impression that after I noticed it only has 3,000 votes on IMDB I felt the need to recommend it to everybody here.
I intended to rent it streaming on Amazon Prime, but it was only available to buy streaming for $4.99. It is well worth it imo.
