About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody, confrontational drama about tradition versus modern change, with an unusual, old-school look; Not for you if you need fast pacing, lots of dialogue, or warm escapism like All of Us Strangers.
Pros: striking black-and-white style; sharp social commentary; tense village conflict | Cons: thin character depth; repetitive story beats; sparse dialogue
