pastelbrook I honestly had no idea what this film was about, I was guessing it would be a sort of 'Pans Labrynth' but it was so disjointed I just couldn't get a rope on it, the ending just left me feeling I had just wasted an hour and a half of my life.
beorhhouse Excellent, strange Dark Fantasy with a great ending and wonderful actors--especially the little girl who is so demonstrative and natural you might think she is really a little farm girl the director found to play the part. There are so many unanswered questions here--gnomic things--and that is what makes the film so wonderful, uncanny, and, frankly, creepy.
chrislesmckis This movie was pretty good! it was filmed really beautifully and the acting from the main character Giddy was executed really well. It was also told from her point of view which was really interesting. I don't know why most people from this movie hard to follow, i found it really straight forward. It's worth a watch.
socrates99 We're living in country very reminiscent of the film's location, so there was a heightened appeal to the scenery for us, but honestly, this movie rises far above the attractiveness of its setting. It's a little unusual in that a major part of the drama hangs on the relationship between the father and daughter who greatly resemble each other. I found then both easy to listen to and watch. Both actors do a great job in their roles and they carry most of the picture with substantial help from this first time director who tells her story very effectively.I've read criticism of the plot and the non-resolution of various issues brought up, but as one who needs murder mysteries and spy dramas to make perfect sense, a story mostly from a child's point of view set on a farm doesn't have to come together like a puzzle. I enjoyed this film and look forward to more from this interesting director.
