It's been a long time since I watched this kind of bad film. I have no words how I feel after wasting two and a half hours of my life. I just feel humanly angry, because I felt robbed.

Scenery of the film is nice, but the scenario is complete disaster. The whole thing stars intriguingly, but moving every minute forward it gets worse and worse. It's very slow moving, full of fillers and images put without context to the movie.

This movie purposefully breaks every movie-making rule in the book. The plot is told by a narrator. The main characters are never really the sole focus of the camera. In fact, the main characters almost never speak on-screen. The main plot is not important. The movie's main focus is the background scenery.

That's what makes it hard to get, if you're not used to this art house kind of film.

Absolutely beautiful shots, good acting, and a bit too slow, but chill pace.

7 out of 10.

I recommend watching this, if you like art house films.

Suggestion: Early on, go out to the lobby for popcorn ... and keep going. In the European tradition of bad filmmaking, the auteur is caught up intensely in every aspect of creating images, and is totally oblivious of what effect any of it has on an audience. I can imagine a Q&A following a screening consisting mostly of questions like, what were you trying to say with ... ? Followed by a long tortured answer, when the real answer is, "I have no idea." This is strictly a critic's picture, as evidenced by the preponderance of positive professional reviews. For us civilians, not so much. If you're looking to be entertained, watch varnish drying.

Composed as a fairy tale and happening in our times in Georgia from Eastern Europe, though not the real Georgia, but an imagined one, where people are benevolent, and dogs are important characters, and all that happens is contemplation of time, love and simplicity. And with the sadness of quiet awareness of the deterioration of environment and political landscapes. A beautiful music score and a good reminder of what art could be when is not in the capitalist discourse.

A magical movie that I will come back to, again and again. After watching the interview of the director I could see that the movie is a mirror of his very kind soul.

This was absolutely one of the best movies I saw this year. I know the town and I fell in love with it anew. All the beautiful shots, people and dogs are harmoniously whirling around in the sunny streets of the city. This is a true cinema where you are part of the experience, and music helps to elevate the feeling.
