A deliberately methodical slowly paced tale shrouded with biblical metaphors and demonic connotations.
An entertaining and intriguing drama!
This film left me contemplating the ending for some time after the film had finished! It started slowly, but I soon began feeling sympathy for the protagonist, who is being raised by Christian fundamentalist parents, and so the plot appeared to be trite and predictable. But all is not quite what it seems. Highly recommended.
