![Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter [Blu-ray] [2014]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/cf3493e9-6e9a-4085-a08e-704c8e4a87c7.jpg)

Very good acting, but the lack of a real story makes that merely a divertisement, and the lack of an ending to the story leaves one disappointed.
The problem is, it's not "a true story," as advertised. If you search online for the story behind it, you'll find that it's really an urban legend that the filmmakers decided to run with. If they had pursued the real story behind that legend, they might have done well. Instead, it comes off as a post-adolescent attempt at being clever, displaying a lack of understanding or appreciation for the depth of the human person. I was sorry to have spent the time and money on this movie.

Rich in the depth of its characters.

A compelling look at the people involved with King Henry VIII, and the revolution which he wrought.
It is written and acted with depth. No character is all good or all bad. Henry is human, though mastered by his appetites.. Ambition takes its payment from us in ways we would not choose. Vengeance is not sweet, but appalling and mortifying to the man of conscience.
I intend to read the books, now that I have enjoyed this program.
