I'm one who loves cinema, but I was looking for some clarity or payoff at the end. I believe I could've been more satisfied if I had a certain view of events in the story but that was not enough for me. Apparently we see a different things on 2nd or 3rd viewings but I only saw it once so I guess that's all I saw. I wanted to see more of it. There were some unexplained things that made me think about the possible significance but I really just wanted it told to me. Isn't that what story 'telling' is supposed to be? It was quite a uniquely crafted film, I thought that the acting was impeccable and that the direction was well executed from this first-timer. There were so many great pieces and undertones that were just making me think about a lot of things in life as I was watching but I really wanted much bigger things happening. I don't like blockbusters nor do I like Art House but this film has got me thinking that if film is in between but with no pay off, then it should be bigger and maybe with some familiar faces. There should have been more of the love story and we should have seen the reason behind the tragedy. It's a total mystery. I loved the use of imagery and symbolism, a little too much music but it was nicely served mostly and gave a kind of epic feel. I really was impressed overall but I guess budget restrictions just stop it from giving some viewers the extra final kick they might be looking for. 8/10
