as was the harrowing bus incident

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2015)

That opening scene was indeed a stunner (as was the harrowing bus incident)but I found there to be too many coincidences in this film to make it digestible. I thought it was an ordeal to sit through and strained credibility throughoutthough I realize the vast majority agree with you as this has received virtually nothing but glowing reviews. Either way, it certainly is a film worth talking about. An extraordinary film. I agree with the review concerning the violence ; it was handled very sensitively by Villeneuve. Beautifully filmed and splendid photography. Lasting impression is one of sadness for mankind with so much trauma for children and the silent suffering of Women within certain cultures.
