A Magnificent tale of cultural and societal ideologies clashing in what becomes a heartbreaking tragedy. Personally, it was an all too true spotlight... on what real religion should look like but unsurprisingly used by the "wrong" people for the "wrong" reasons. The story is not one of striking and supenseful surprizes as much of the story is predictable, but the main characters hold you in their search for meaning, belonging, and love. I would gladly see it again and will undoubtedly recommend it to any movie lover. Full Review

The only movie I have ever walked out on. Gratuitous violence masquerading as drama. Truly so gruesome that we were unable to stay and see the end... of this film. Full Review

An elegant, heartbreaking fable, equal parts Shakespearean tragedy, neo-Western and mob movie but without the pretension of those genres.Full Review

It contains risk, violence, a little romance, even fleeting moments of humor, but most of all, it sees what danger and heartbreak are involved. It is riveting from start to finish.Full Review

That this is Fukunaga's first film is astonishing, given its sharp script, technical proficiency and suspenseful pacing. The ensemble cast is top-notch.Full Review
