We started this and stopped after 20 minutes, but I had an inkling that I wanted to see how it played out.
Watching this through, it is a very strong film with excellent performances. It's not just a "Meg" rip-off. There are complex characters, an unique story and elements of spirituality and culture that are inspired.
I believe strongly that many of the reviews of this film have been submitted by those that gave up after 20 minutes and didn't actually watch the whole film.
The cultural references are accurate. The deities are real and are properly recognized. The feeling of being in an uncomfortable situation in a foreign town are well portrayed.
Give it 40 minutes, don't assume you have the whole story after the first 20 minutes, you may find it's better than it's average rating!
