ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Michael Ledo Two unnamed children's parents die and they try to survive in their rustic Alps farm. Unnamed teen girl gets raped and hunted. Not much dialogue. Many slow scenes such as the boy getting a splinter. Girl swims naked. People go to mass. Even the action scenes were slow. Not much to see here. Remarkably won best feature at the San Diego Film Festival 2013. Maybe I am missing something.Some nudity (Sophie Lowe)

ixlsmoot This is an intense movie from the start. In fact I the first time I watched it I didn't even realize not a word was spoken for almost the first half if the movie. The scenery is beyond beautiful and you are easily drawn into the lives of main characters. Well worth watching if you like suspense movies, not really my favorite genre but I guess it can't always be about the zombies, monsters etc. We all know the human monsters are the scariest because they can be right next door. Was a little creeped out by Gustaf Skarsgård in this role, part of why I re-watched it, hadn't started watching Vikings when I saw it first time. Had to verify that my favorite Viking was a huge creeper in this movie, was an interesting change from other roles I've seen him in. Haven't seen many of his movies due to them being Swedish but hopefully soon I can expand my viewing, he's a great actor.

daniela pavel except some images that are worth seeing...this movie has no beginning and no end. i have the impression that i have wasted 2 hour of my life..there may be some subliminal message in it but i just could not get it. there is no intrigue, no plot, and no sense to every thing that happens during 100 min of film and after the first 20 minutes i was already annoyed by the slow action, bad acting, the absence of speech communication between the few characters that there are. the only reason why i continued to watch the movie, was to see if indeed the characters will remain so undefined and without personalty by its end. all that they to is run around a mountain forest (though beautiful ) one after another until they get back to were they started in the beginning...

g-adamopoulou Beauty and crudeness, soft and hard, good and evil, innocence and corruption, determination and fear, delivered in all aspects of this film. The antithesis is there in both the scenery and the characters' growth.The cinematography is stunning. The acting is great by everyone, the leading actress being the one standing out.From a filmmaking point of view, we have such a great idea and the execution was good enough to make it run but neither strong nor poetic enough to make it fly. This failure to launch is the reason I gave it no more than 7 out of 10 stars.
