The movie was generally well-done. The acting well-matched the setting and script. Parts of the story were somewhat abrupt, but understandable since it's trying to pack most of a lifetime into 3 hours, however it could have been improved as far as time transitions. Background and clothing also appeared to well-fit the story.
The story depicts the viewpoint of a woman bitter against her father and some of her brothers. It showed some anti-Semitic prejudice in depicting character flaws in Jacob and his sons, in contrast to the women and Canaanite men and Egyptians who were depicted as righteous people. One might wonder if the writer of the story was a non-Jewish Palestinian sympathizer instead of a bitter daughter/sister.
Notwithstanding a few minor historical problems, the movie was professional and captivating, and worth seeing again.
