I appreciate the quality of production, acting and general ambience created in this movie. It was gripping enough to keep me watching for the whole 1hr 47min. There's a slightly unsettling feeling throughout, which keeps you intrigued as to how things are going to turn out.
It turns out, nowhere. Nothing really happens. The village fall out over the alleged rape by a schoolboy. They don't believe the victim and harass her family sometimes. Then it ends. After sitting through a long, miserable and slow 107 minutes of my life.
Some people might appreciate this film for its general production quality, but it feels like one of those movies made for being a stylish cinematic piece with very little substance. I need things to happen. Maybe I'm just a gore-seeker, but I was hoping at least some shots would be fired or some kind of violent crescendo would ensue. Or some kind of moment where the truth comes out or the boy concedes his guilt. Something to be a climax to the descending fallout between the characters. But it ends just as it could have got actually interesting.
Unless you like slow burns that don't really come to anything, but are slow burns for the sake of just burning slow and then flickering out weakly, then I would avoid.
