We are so lucky to have films like this being made. Lax's acting was so so good. Sad to see the film ending, you are so caught up in the intensity of what is--ironically--a simple story.
If you like dime-a-dozen action movies, you won't like this beautiful and sensitive film. If you are drawn to the cinematic possibilities for sensitive portrayal of character and struggle, you should like it. The acting is superb, superior to anything Hollywood is capable of. I've watched it several times and have always been amazed at what has been accomplished here.
To cut to the chase, this film is so bleak, dark, and depressing you'll realize life isn't worth living and be dreaming up ways to kill yourself long before the film ends. Unmitigated torture, as anyone with a mood disorder will quickly verify. Even if life is pretty gruesome, why is it necessary to have every shot on the dullest January day in the snowfields of my native Canada, with not the slightest sign of a sunlight, let alone some relieving humour or even a smile to keep the devastation at bay.
That said, the acting of Isaka Sawadogo and Chloé Bourgeois was clearly excellent, so they should not be held accountable for this tragedy.
