A surprising, absorbing piece of storytelling, with fine performances by Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba - the best I can recall for each of these worthy actors. Real characters with real emotions make the more fantastical aspects of the film more credible. Swinton is cast against type, playing a sympathetic woman torn by real emotions. Idris Elba despite being a creature of some magical powers, is paradoxically much more human, and his motivation more credible, than in his Marvel universe roles. Recommended for those who believe movie should be about human beings, with real conflicts, and not humanoid types with super powers.
