Utterly mesmerising - the season’s unexpected diamond. Outstanding photography with a powerful message on the excesses of religious bigotry. Very enjoyable. Excellent Great to have a really original storyline. And, beautifully shot. Gripping, beautiful and interesting. Strange film - too strange for me to be convinced. Good acting. Good photography and lighting. Interesting use of Western music. Relentlessly grim. That was 20 years wasted. Please enter member comments here...
