A stark and haunting film about human nature. The film is a concept piece that definitely won't be for the average film viewer. The film relies heavily on the actors ability to actually perform their craft convincingly which in this case they did. Superb acting by Nicole Kidman and the rest of the cast. This piece is very philosophically driven and deals with many social and psychological issues. It's one of those "what would you do in that situation" kind of movies. It's really a morality play or a Greek tragedy if you will. This movie is really long and somewhat hard to get through but the ending was worth it. Again, this is a challenging movie and if you don't like these kinds of interesting and different films it won't be for you. For others who enjoy a challenge I highly recommend this film.

Its FINLAND BEST.... hmmmm wanted to see what the big fuss about .. Here where you can distinguish there true acting skills abilities..the movie is storytelling and stage play production.. it quite different and unique indeed..

Brilliant. Worth at least one look. Stage-like sets might give you pause but the actors make it seem unnecessary. I loved it and I love it still. Very strong content. It was intense. :)

One of the most depressing things i've ever seen. In a poignant way. Devastating.

I did not like this at first. By the end I was so into the story I no longer noticed the set. 5/5 Great piece of film here.

It was slow but cant say it was a cg movie. Loved the Red moon at the end. Good watch.

not for me either

gotta cinephilic boner by a 1/4 of the way through, and the horribly,deliciously satisfying ending was my happy ending!

This film reflects various disturbing aspects of the human soul, which is why some people hate it or are disgusted by it. It makes you look deep within yourself and ask "what would I have done if I had lived in that town? Would I have helped her?" Other people hate it because it is filmed entirely on a real stage, with very basic props. The acting is 100% and the message is the most powerful I have ever seen in a film. Fantastic, life-changing production.

This movie was so weird. It is really cool, but hard to watch more than one time, because of how odd it was. Really intense and had wonderful acting. The story line was very weird. Worth watching once.

It looks more like a play than a movie. Sorry, the acting might be great as well as the story but it is not "movie" in its whole sense to me. The lack of a scenery and proper stages makes difficult to get into the story... too slow to me.
