First, I'm not a film critic. I don't remember the cast from other films & compare performances. I don't know directors. I watch a film for its own merit. Then I usually forget it immediately. I might recognise cast from other films, but I watch films for their own merits and to enjoy them, not judge them. Even horrifically bad films are entertaining in their own way.
So I just try to describe without spoiling it.
We really loved this film.
The plot was good and made sense. The twists in the plot made sense. The tensions between characters had reasons which were explained and appropriate. The leading lady seemed a bit of a doormat, but actually there wasn't a lot she could do in certain circumstances.
I loved watching the scenery of the countryside and culture. It was colourful, beautiful and intensely fascinating. The work culture, however, looked really dreadful, and some of the people were quite distasteful. But they were supposed to be, so that's ok. It was quite nice to see that people who were supposed to be "respectable" as distasteful. Of course, that's real life, but it was a little interesting aspect.
It was a wonderful look into another culture. I'm really glad to have watched it and would highly recommend it!
Oh. The special effects and filming were really good, too!
