A most disappointing film--spoiler included

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2004)

I just saw this film and was very disappointed by it. A couple of things that bothered me:
Women of the late 20th century decide that they are going to don 19th century garb? I'm assuming that some (at least some) of these women were exposed to 20th century feminism and I find it difficult to believe that they would have gone along with this style of dress as well as the mores of the late 19th century.
the belief system of this group is based on lies and fear. A bit too creepy a la Jim Jones (Jonestown massacre). Lies and fear masquerading as a utopian society is just skewed. How much more manipulative can you get than to fabricate an entire village and life for not only your demented self but your offspring?? Twisted!
And, as someone else pointed out, what, they didn't invite anyone but white people to create this supposed idyllic, utopian society? Hmmm.
