Last night, I watched The Four Feathers movie starring Heath Ledger, Wes Bentley, Djimon Hounsou and Kate Hudson. This is one of those movies that the critics were lukewarm about but the audience seemed to love better than that. Count me among those lovers.

It is an exquisitely done period piece based on a novel. Not only is the photography stunning, but the story is well told.

The feathers in the title are from an old tradition of shaming cowardice by handing the purported coward a white feather. To say anymore would be moving into spoiler territory.

The movie is a little more than two hours, well spent in my opinion.

In the USA, I found this on Paramount Plus.
