I recently watched this masterpiece for the first time. Can you guess it?
I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.
For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.

Hownos wins with Beyond the Hills (2012). My review: This film is a masterpiece. The performances by the entire cast, especially the two leading ladies, are excellent. Really well written, masterfully directed, and beautiful cinematography. I think the director did a good job telling the story in a powerful and effective way, while still being empathetic and humane towards all the characters. He didn't sensationalize anything and doesn't lecture or preach at the audience, which I appreciate. Personally, I don't feel that the film is anti-religion, but shows the harm that some human beings do to one another. Excellent film. I can't rate it anything other than a 10/10.
