=> What a fabulous film. Utterly brilliant. Realistic, touching, inspiring tragic.
=>Great comparison with the Canadian film on Alzheimer’s shown to us 3 years ago. Something of the oriental view compared to that of the Western World?
=> Extraordinary. Photography magnificent.
=> Simply superb.
=> Definitely a strong candidate for “the film of the year”.
=> Very powerful, although depressing.
=> Totally absorbing and superbly acted. It was fascinating how Mija’s developing poetic sensibility transformed and transcended the very mundane, realistic everyday settings.
=> It looked so real, it was hard to believe it [was] acted. It helped not to know the cast.
=> Some gripping images.
=> Brilliant film, raising so many different issues, cleverly linking throughout the film.
=> The best film of the season, on so many levels.
=> Shell shocked when it ended. Her pain + [?] confusion are very poignantly displayed. Too bad it was a small audience – those who chose not to come missed something remarkable. Brilliantly written and played – bitter savagery of life.

‘Very Good:
=> Long drawn out. But excellent filming & superb acting.
=> Beautiful but too long
=> Watching and listening to people – refreshing and fascinating.
=> I would have liked to know more about the girl & am glad she appeared at the end.
=> Beautifully filmed and profoundly moving, if overlong.
=> Very long on a Cramphorn seat, but worth it for a totally stunning performance. Such elegance in contrast to the arrogance of every male in the film.

‘Good’:
=> Wonderful photography. Thought provoking
=> Bit long – interesting alien concept.
=> Great insight into human nature.

‘Poor’:
=> Very long – too long.

Unrated:
=> Beautiful scenery, but plot at times incomprehensible. Too long, but at times some redeeming moments.
