A really good movie. Almost fantastic even, were it not for some flaws.
You'll learn allot about the main character and maybe even a little about yourself, which for me is a hallmark of a great movie.
The story does seem a little unfocused near the beginning, and not all the dialogue is that great. Although I do think some of that is on purpose.
A very good, and daring performance, from the main actress who should have gotten recognition for this movie.
The cinematography is also really good, it sets the mood and shows of the scenery. And all on what I imagine must have been a low budget.
At the end you'll feel that you've taken quite a journey.
It is very unfortunate that the print I saw was rather poorly preserved, it had dirt and scratches especially near the beginning, some slight discoloration too. And it is a real shame because it's still a beautiful looking movie and I can't wait until it gets a proper restoration treatment. (which might happen soon actually).
8/10 (might become a 9/10 on a re-watch). 7 years 12 months ago
