Artsy, good, but not for everyone
To a student or fan of anthropology this movie reflects the general concepts of human pre-history: neanderthals struggling to survive and the rise of modern humans in their midst. The idea though that neanderthals were brainless apes has more or less been discounted, so the movie is somewhat dated. However, the notion that modern humans were simply better suited to survive seems to be accurately reflected in this movie. The fact that there is no "dialogue" means that the actors had to convey themselves through gestures and movements, and they do this exceptionally well throughout the film.
