  • ‘Excellent’: 5 votes
    • Never seen a film like this! Husband & I knew there’d be violence & we might need to leave; but we had to stay, it’s so powerful. There are people living like this, now. Thank you, Film Club
    • Amazing view of Ukrainian village life.
    • Engrossing, atmospheric and visceral; incredible carnival scenes – memorable!
    • A good ‘cinematic’ experience – “gutwrenching” as one member of the audience told me!
  • ‘Very Good’: 4 votes
    • Interesting insight into another world. More than 30 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, nothing much has changed; those in authority (clergy, police, politicians) are inherently corrupt and everyone else struggle to rise above serfdom.
  • ‘Good’: 2 votes
    • Creepy. Where worlds collide.
    • On violent side for my tastes, but an engaging story. Found the end a little hard to believe.
  • ‘Satisfactory’: 2 votes
    • Disjointed.
    • Bit too much for gore me. Strange set piece.
  • ‘Poor’: 1 vote
    • An awful film. Wish I’d stayed at home!

  • ‘Excellent’: 3 votes
    • Another winner from Koreeda.  By the end of the film, you sympathise with all the characters, regardless of their morality.  I did find the ending (where everyone wins) a bit too twee, however.
    • Loved the slow pace.  Very emotional for me. A bit confused at end.
    • A very enjoyable film but I’m a little confused about the ending.  Films like this are why we need a Film Club.
  • ‘Very Good’: 6 votes
    • Thoroughly engaging narrative; lovely performances.  And such a ‘happy’ ending – so unusual!
    • Perhaps slightly too long, lovely characterisation although rather unlikely ending.
      Good 1st film!
    • A gentle, sweet story despite the backstory.
    • Interesting
    • Bit long!
  • ‘Good’: 2 votes
  • ‘Satisfactory’: 1 vote
    • Meandered pleasantly but never quite made it to a believable whole fairy tale.
  • ‘Poor’: 0 votes
