This film certainly has a very unique story and a very unique setting and theme, which helps the film stand out. It also helps for your enjoyment, i believe, to know nothing about it, so that the "suprise" keeps the story interesting.
This is a very well directed film. while not anything outstanding, it serves it's purpose, as all of the actors do a good job, especially the 2 main elders. The music was noticeably great, although i would have prefered much less use of it. I appreciated the choice to not translate the indigenous language of the 2 characters (which was created for the film, btw), as it really emphasizes how disconnected we are with these cultures, and it also makes the ending much more satisfying.
I feel that this is a movie that everyone could enjoy and have interesting conversations about, whether about love, religion, selfishness, and the reality of a culture's death, although i would say it is a much more interesing story than a film.
