The movie is breathtaking. True art on screen. It's rare to see such an amazing execution of a worn out topic. Music is beautiful as well, acting immaculate, story very imaginative. Amazing.

This is a great drama about a girl coming to terms with the death of her loved ones as she is gifted immortality. The vampire theme is used to drive the story and not just add shock value. I personally loved the film as its a breath of fresh air just be warned its not a horror movie. The musical score was exceptionally gorgeous! I wish there was a little bit more character development between Maia and the boy she met to help flesh out emotions more but overall 7/10.

Very moody, dark, yet very poetically made vampire fantasy. This story also tells you that sometimes immortality is not as usually thought to be a blessing but a lament torture. Seeing the love ones, those who you finally getting familiar with, either becoming old, dying and dead. Being immortal is an eternal punishment and torture, becoming a vampire is not a blessing but a curse. Forever young might be the ultimate desire to some people, but to some people, existence with a lifespan limitation might turn out a better choice since getting old is already a burden when every part of your physical being is gradually weakened, longevity is not what people usually dream of.

I enjoyed the film because I didn't know what to expect. I would still classify the film as a horror, as result of some very frightening scenes. I won't say when, that is apart of the surprise! I will let the audience find that out for themselves. The performances seemed very real to me and authentic. The story spoke for itself. The cinematography is breath taking! I like the scenery and the beautiful colours. There were some obvious attributes of the main character that told what she was, but it didn't seem very clear to me at the time, and I almost didn't really seem to even notice until later on in the plot. I don't understand why that happened? I loved how the director used the characters to draw you into the story line by not knowing what was going to happen next. I also like how the main character goes through a metamorphosis of change, but remains almost the same, but doesn't! How is that possible?

I picked this as somewhat of a throwaway choice at the end of a long day on Shudder. Turned out being fantastic. The performance of the little girl was terrific and carried the film. Great cinematography and the score was superb. If you're up for a slower paced dark fairytale, this is it. Much more in line with a Pan's Labyrinth style film vs a conventional vampire horror flick. Don't sleep on it if that's more your vibe, totally worth the watch.
