    • Needed to be made.
    • Oddly charming!
    • “If Women didn’t exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning”
  • ‘Very Good’: 8 votes
    • Fascinating insight into life amongst the underclasses living in the Native American reservations. The performances from the non-professional actors were extremely good throughout.
    • Subtitles would have helped, but the ‘Moving pictures’ told an absorbing story.
    • Well, I thought life could never get worse for any of them, but then it did. [?] addictive, but I can’t explain why.
    • Blimey, I guess that’s what life is like on the reservations that the Native Americans were herded onto. Could have done with subtitles but followed it all. Wonderful ending when Bill stole everything.
    • I have heard and read about the grim life the poor Indians have and this film brings home the hopelessness. Some people have a lot to answer for…
    • Enjoyable and engrossing – great performances!
    • A very interesting picture of life for Native Americans and their fighting spirit.

    • 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!

    • 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
