User Reviews

Rare beauty with a hoodie in the winds

East Europe's quality display in all of its glory. Detail view of the nature is superbly put together. Directors from this part of the world have class and taste.

Storyline tempo was too jerky switching from the opening to the conclusions. The events of revelations seemed to lost its tempo. And the detail of character within is blurred from one unto another. Like a car chase with the same type of car with the same type of color. You cannot grasp who is chasing who...

But overall this movie have landed an arrow in my heart like a cupid of destiny. Bravo
