9 / 10 8 / 10 I had high hopes when I ordered this film but was disappointed. I agree with others that it needed editing.
My Movie Rating: 4 / 10 5 / 10 A sad parable of repression.
I also found the film heavily padded and slow. I would have edited 25 minutes, easily. Any director unable to establish a scene or set a mood in less than five minutes is simply wasting film and boring audiences.
