Now some things may not look "pretty", but it's always in the eye of the beholder. We are used to a certain look, to a certain beauty standard. The makeup is amazing in this, again if you don't mind this going against what you might find enticing and beautiful to look at.

Now I really wanted to stress this, because we are used to glamour and all that. But it's not just those things the movie goes up against. It's also tough to put a mark on this. It is kind of a love story, but it's also more of a drama and then there is also a thriller in there. So you get quite a few things, not to mention the fairy tale aspect of it (or at least fantasy portion). It really won't be something for a lot of people, for a lot of reasons. But if you are ok with odd, if you are ok, with not conventional storytelling, with weird characters, with outsiders overcoming things and reputation, then this will entertain you, but not in the sense a Hollywood movie would.

It's hard to describe, but there is beauty within

This one was a weird one but it worked on the level. Felt like watching a horror and romantic comedy that in the end felt like something completely different.

This is one of the strangest movies I have ever accidentally watched. I had NO idea what I as getting into, but the more I saw, well, I couldn't stop watching.

It's a study of being human. But it isn't.

It's more of a Grimm Fairy Tale about "others" showing us how to be human. And how inhumane we are to our own.

Had I known what I was getting into in advance, I don't know that I would have watched it and then I would have missed an incredible Nordic fairy tale for adults.

This is one I would - and have - recommended to friends. It will stay with me for a long time, if I am lucky. And it will raise it's beautiful head when I need to be reminded to hone my humanity.

Watch it. Form your own opinion about this film that isn't easy to watch but will give you so much you'll be glad you did. (IMHO)

I recommend this to anyone that loves weird films, because this is certainly one of them!

Gripping throughout, dark, good story and performances, unpredictable, very original.

A high 7/10!

Not for the faint hearted. The film had me completely engrossed I have never seen anything like it. Extremely weird sometimes even disturbing but a strange array of beauty emminatea from the lead despite this. Plenty of twists and turns along the way an extremely enjoyable watch.
