4 stars (Very Good) It doesn't sell itself short for commercialism (it is laced with backhanders against white intrusion) although the photography is stunning. The film making must have been arduous but worth it as you come away with pearls of wisdom ringing in your ears. ~Tubbs
5 stars (Exceptional) Hallucinatory. Cross between Hertzog and Tarkovsky. ~Regando
2 stars (Good Try) ~Anonz
