A friend of mine worked as an extra on the movie. He along with numerous
other locals who worked in it saw a showing of the New World in Richmond
the day after the Williamsburg premier. He told me he went in with a
positive attitude, but came away very disappointed. He described the
movie as a "beautiful, long, convoluted mess." He nevertheless encouraged
me to see it anyway (which I will) and make up my own mind.
