If not here, where do I leave a review?


I saw this movie in pre-release, and liked it very much. Not only because of the dialogue, but mostly for the scenes that had none. Good lighting all around, powerfull scenery and scenes without words that make this medium a special one.
It is a small film, with a very small cast. To counter this it takes you out to sea, and into Scotland. The scenery is beautifully woven into the story, as is the music of the Waterboys, the central idea it all started with.
A movie abut longing, belonging and belonging together in a relation, with those images you need to comtemplate on it afterwards.

I second your opinion. Saw it too in pre-release and it really stuck with me. Believe it or not but this is actually my favourite/best Dutch movie ever. Definitely gonna see it again when it hits the theaters. Great stuff.

I would disagree though that the movie is about "longing, belonging and belonging together in a relation" but more so about learning to appreciate other people's values and ways of life. A really basic message but it was transferred perfectly and profoundly.
