This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Eventually disappointed and confused by this flick, I have to give credit for the wonderful photography and a few good performances, particularly Adrian Lester.The violent scenes seemed an homage to "The Wild Bunch" and the music was quite good.This back and forward telling of the story spoiled the fluidity , confused things and trivialized the integrity of the story that wavered at the whim of the story teller.I have to ask WHY this woman had spent her life in poverty while hiding a kabillion dollars in gold in. . . .And why did the brothers have such animosity toward one another?Yikes!I admit, I now would like to see more of the director's work.

After having read some reviews of 'Dust' I was not sure if I wanted to see it or not. However, the "David Wenham infatuation" prevailed in the end, and I went as far as to actually purchase the film. It was money well spent, you could say. While the movie would not appeal to general audiences, it left me awestruck. I ended up watching it again, on the same night."Wow" is how I describe feeling after the credits rolled (the first and the second time). I don't want to spoil anything for those who have not seen the movie, so I'll just stick to my reactions to it. There was laughter, there were tears, there might have been an "eww" once or twice, there were definitely lustful thoughts of David Wenham (he's rather cute, you know). Acting was superb, though I'd like a few words with the 'dialect coach' (hint: the leads are not American). All in all, a great movie. I highly recommend seeing it at least once.

Milco Mancevski's second film, Dust, is the pioneer work. I'm sure many future filmmakers will use some of the stuff he made in this film. No one can give a grade to this. Only time will tell how much Milcho is way ahead his time.

Didn't know what to expect, other than Fiennes and something historical. As the story unwound (re-wound, spiraled, jigsawed, dovetailed), my appreciation deepened. It is cerebral, I suppose, but it was my gut instinct that made me really love this movie. I am always amazed when mere idle curiosity pays off with such largesse. Eye-opening. Emotional. Poetically truthful. I'll probably buy it.
