Critic Reviews for The Dig
All Critics (154) | Top Critics (43) | Fresh (135) | Rotten (19)
The elegance in The Dig lies in what it says about the continuity of life rather than the finality of death.
It's remarkably moving. By Jupiter, I even cried by the end.
This bittersweet tale of the unearthing of the Sutton Hoo treasures on the eve of the second world war has gentle charm to spare.
The Dig is a movie steeped in the inevitable passage of time, but it's also a reminder that the past lives on through the things we leave behind.
None of this would have worked without the presence of such fine actors.
Had the narrative stayed the course established in the early-goings, it might have been unremarkable but satisfying. As it is, there's too much of the former and too little of the latter.
