Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

fstclairejm The director's last name is eponymous with what this movie should have been called: Blunder. The cinematography is decent, hence the one star. Probably the most interesting thing about this film is watching the grass grow faster than the pace of this movie. I think it's an attempt at being artistic which fails miserably. Poor script. No dialogue in the attempt to be artsy. In fact, I thought that multiple actors in this had a condition that prevented them from talking except in single words once in a blue moon. Even the addition of gratuitous violence still left the grass growing as the best part of this film. Don't stick around for the harvest!

Benediction I saw this movie with absolutely no expectations, and I liked it a lot. I really felt that it's a story that could have been set anywhere in the world, and even at any time in human history. If you take away some modern technology (which are really just props and not that important to the story) the movie could have been set in the stone age.If you're expecting an R-rated "rape-revenge movie" you will probably get disappointed. Because that is not what this movie is. It's a poetic and beautiful portrayal of human nature.But I believe it would have been even better if they had been brave enough to make it 100% free of dialog. It would have felt even more timeless.

ricknwman My favorite movie of the year. I had the pleasure to see the film at the Stockholm Film Festival while I was visiting my cousin in Sweden. It was totally different than I expected it would be and I left the theater spiritually and emotionally challenged yet uplifted in the same time. The cinematography and amazing visuals (not using CGI) are amazing! The actors lived up to the challenge of taking us along on their journey through their actions only as there was almost no dialog. The cinema was sold out, there was absolute silence during the sreening and people kept talking about the film afterwards in the lobby for the longest time. I hope that this film will have a theatrical US release, because it is one of those rare films that is worth being seen on the big screen. Eather way Autumn Blood will surely land in my BlueRay collection.

jeffjensen-839-522777 I think the direction on this movie shows just as much creative genius, if not more, than Steven Spielberg's first movie "Jaws".The tonal values and the color is off the charts. Knowledge and use of light in this movie is unsurpassed - your ability to reach just past the limits of the Dynamic Range of your camera - on the high end and the low end is beautiful.The ability to say soooo much with so few words in a script is just past excellent.Don't know if I would want to watch it if the story line was any more intense than this was.The pieces of the story fit together seamlessly at the end of the movie.I think everyone was able to relate to the characters (in a good way or a bad way) in the movie. This is not an easy thing to do with such a small written script.I believe that one of the most important things in a good movie is a well written (re- written) script - In this case I would say that the director wrote (very well) most of the script with the camera.
