Review of The Lost City of Z

There is no shortage of brilliant acting and production here. The problem with this film is that it doesn't deliver. Even if it is based on a novel, the writers might have done better if they took some liberties with the facts and delivered a more interesting narrative. Worth watching, but you're waiting for something to happen and it never does. More than anything, more could have been done to pique interest in the lost city. A native mentions it once, and while watching, you wonder why the protagonist was so obsessed.
