The first thing that captures the viewers would be the colourful and beautifully shot scenes of both the mountainside and small towns, including both the interiors and exteriors of buildings.
Acting was good albeit somewhat exaggerated in parts. By and large the entire cast did a good job and acted mostly believably and naturally.
The main drawback of this movie is the half-baked script with inexplicable plot loopholes, and unconvincing turn of events, bordering on the absurd.
Worst of all is the ridiculously, sappy and nonsensical ending which in seconds made laughable rubbish of the entire movie. It all but brought the entire effort into 'absurd-land' hook-line-and-sinker. What a shame.
If as much attention had been paid to the script and believability of the plot and events, as had been to the cinematography, this would have been an excellent movie.
The follow-up movie (which I don't know yet if I'd want to bother with) is supposed to 'explain' the ending absurdity. But the only way to explain mushy absurdity is with more mushy absurdity.
Just too bad those involved were well capable of the sugary but not the substance.
