Beautiful movie. Story of the English settlement at Jamestown and the love story of John Smith and Pocahontas. It's too long and there are too many shots of John Smith's and Pocahontas's hands reaching for each other. But the first act is stunning--the initial contact of the two cultures. And the last act does get you. Mrs. Fox needed three kleenexes. FWIW.

Reminded me a bit of The Piano in its cinematography and voice-over. Almost like a silent movie. There's very little dialogue for long stretches and when somebody speaks it's almost an intrusion.

Definitely worth seeing.
