About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow, somber historical drama about justice and rebellion with striking landscapes and a reflective tone; Not for you if you need clear plotting, brisk action, or constant excitement like 15 Minutes of War.

Pros: striking scenery; thoughtful moral questions; strong lead performance | Cons: very slow pace; confusing storytelling; muted dialogue and music
