OK, I am not a fan of Fantasy movies...but this is not a fantasy movie or...maybe it is. I still don't know what is the genre of this movie honestly. I will write what I know. I think it is innovative, it is challenging. It is brave. I could not believe that it was made with such a small budget. The visual effects could have been better but it is also true that this guy made the entire movie by himself, he covered all the roles in the movie because he didn't have the budget to make this movie. I saw this film in a festival in Portugal and I could not talk with him in person but I wanted to. I was there for the Q&A though when he was speaking. I didn't have the chance to ask him about the movie but I wanted to understand why he wanted to make this movie as his first feature film. Could have not been better to make something simpler? I am not considering the budget of the movie here otherwise I had to give it a 10/10 for what he accomplished. Instead I gave it a 7 because there are some parts of the movie that were not clear to me, it was going too fast sometimes. As I said, it is innovative. Maybe too much? I need the movies to be slower sometimes, that is just the way I am. I need to see this movie again but I don't know where because it is not released yet. One thing is sure, he made something really out of the box and I loved the fact that the hands looked like human beings, the way they were behaving and acting. Really impressive on this side. This movie has also a strong message. It could have been a bit shorter toward the end but as I said before I need to watch it again. The photography was good too, not perfect all the way through but he had really amazing shots like when he travels the world. Plus I love Sicily because I always go there on vacation. I will come back and rate it again after I watched it again if I will ever find it. I need to be sure before give it a 8 or more.
