This is one of the movies that made me stop my Netflix subscription!

Terrible in any possible way - Script, dialogues, acting, sound, directing... More efforts should go to improve the quality instead of making this non-sense campaign (non-sense after watching or trying to watch the movie).

The package is good looking, but the ingridients...not.

Since the beginning of the movie the observer gets lost in the poor acting and screenplay. Hundreds of little but important things combine together to bring complete nonsense despite the inevitable attempts of the mind to find out what kind of movie is this.

You wont find anything historically correct other than the village scenery, buildings, forests and mountains. Just because they are not made up and actually still exist.

The way story is being told is again very poor attempt to be arty.

Without getting into any details, this movie is nowhere close to the original Yordan Yovkov story.

Its almost unwatchable and requires deliberate willing to finish.

The overall feeling is as if some amateur actors used professional equipment.

Unfortunately - unsuccessfully.

The film language is not for everybody (meaning, it's good to be a profound spectator) - dialogue in rimes, stylized costumes, overwhelming vision, the music is created by a talented young Bulgarian composer, a story told by the most unexpected 'narrator'... Of course, this is most likely to divide viewers, however it touches the very human instincts and I highly recommend to see it!

I found this film quite the fresh breath of air in the movie scenery these days.

What really appeals to me is the strong but at the same time tender love story between the main characters. It is so rare to see something like that in times when everything is in favor of the mighty consumer. Love is false, pace is fast and emotions are being neglected.

Having that in mind, I really connected with the movie and the fates of the characters.

For me it is a little bit long, but the scenes are beautiful and the music is very powerful.

Overall I enjoyed sitting through the movie and find it rather interesting to watch, if you have some spare time.

Waste of time. The accent is on the artistics, while the viewer is lost and can not follow the the story. If you don't read the original text of the story, you can not follow the dialogues, not the movie.
