This seems to be a movie you either love or hate - I was looking forward to it for a long time but I didn’t enjoy it.

Fraser’s performance was excellent but he was surrounded by unsympathetic, unempathetic, unlikeable characters whose presence cause everyone around them pain. And I know that’s the point to a certain degree - I think the movie is trying to show how terrible circumstances can cause people to do terrible things - but it’s a tough watch and ultimately I was glad when it ended.

I never thought that a good character had to be likable, just a person who changes on a journey.

Too add to that, I think it was a display of how his actions/inactions affected those around him, even though he thought his isolation would be better for them. It’s part of his atonement.
