SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Daniel Carkner Great movie. I don't think I've laughed this hard, or been so horrified, in a theatre for a while. It's a dark satire about backwards village life and the lengths the villagers will go to in order to get rid of a crazy, impulsive guy who is ruining their lives and who is seemingly impervious to warnings, beatings or banishment. The plot doesn't proceed in chronological order; events are retold to a visiting doctor who came to the village to investigate rumours of a mystery illness. Sometimes, the same event will be shown again but with different details, as the doctor's understanding of what happened changes. Somehow, I couldn't help but sympathize with the insane, violent and anarchic villager no matter what he did.
