As good as the book?
I read the book in school and loved it, is the movie worth seeing?
sharei loved the book too,

It's one of the most faithful adaptations of any book I've ever seen. From the moment during breakfast when Shukhov has a lump of bread with black sugar on it, you know it's going to be a good adaptation. The evocation of a prison camp in wintertime, given the budget they must have had, is extraordinary. I haven't seen it for more than 20 years, but its moments like that are still with me after all this time.
