Unfortunately this movie just got to my area this weekend. This movie could have been and should have been great! The themes both religious, personal, and ecological are intense and relevant.

The themes both religious, personal, and ecological are intense and relevant. However as much as I appreciate ambiguity the ending was uncalled for. Instead of a climax we got a fart. In my opinion machina ex-deus.… Expand

Major Caution!! The movie is filmed in 1:37 aspect ratio. So the film takes up about the middle half of a theater screen. Extremely annoying. There is symmetry in some shots but the visuals are terrible.....a very ugly movie. No score to theMajor Caution!! The movie is filmed in 1:37 aspect ratio. So the film takes up about the middle half of a theater screen. Extremely annoying. There is symmetry in some shots but the visuals are terrible.....a very ugly movie. No score to the movie. Totally character driven movie...so critics who are ALL in the cult of character rate the movie highly.

There is a lot, a LOT, to dislike about this movie...

My pet peeve....movies are a visual art form. Make them attractive to look at. FAIL.… Expand

I hated almost everything about this film. The characters are irrational. It looks like a film made for an old CRT TV. The ending is all wrong. It is very slow and I was very bored most of the time. None of the characters are likable.

It's the worst film I've ever seen. A24 have produced some of my favourites but this is the first time I've felt my time and money was genuinely wasted and it was only 8 quid.
