Mixed feelings
I don't know what to think.
Let's start with the main character. Was he... in love? With a 10 year-old girl?? That made me really uncomfortable throughout the movie. And I really hope that I simply did not understand it very well.
The idea behind the movie is very good, I come from this region and people really did take pictures of their dead ones - so that was a nice touch, but not enough. So they added ghosts and somehow they couldn't pull it through - they were all over the place with that idea, you will see what I mean, I don't want to spoil it for you.
Acting was bad, especially child's. In several scenes she could not even act interested when adults had their long lines, she did her best god bless her, but it was weak and unfortunately not so good. Including the scenes where she supposed to be scared, simply not convincing.
The story took place in a small village, and it was accurate, the houses indeed looked like that. But I couldn't but notice that everything was too sterile, too clean - the houses and walls were sooo white it hurt my eyes, the objects around the houses so specclean, like you stepped into a museum of some sort. No dirt, no mud, no charred walls from cooking , their clothes were new and spotless like they just arrived from a tailor.
They tried to present that it was extremely cold, so cold that the ground was frozen and they couldn't bury their dead. But you could see the snow thawing, sun shinning, in one scene a little boy was using the rope to go from one place to another, just like some people use during big storms - and there was not even snowing!
The corpses looked very creepy, I can give them that....
