It's an edgy show. Check out the Amish episode -- absolutely brilliant! Why are there so many hostile reviews? The reviews mostly seem to come from viewers of a channel called NICK (is that a kids channel?).
This show has unique, high quality and appealing animation. They certainly don't skimp on the animators.
The few episodes I've seen have been quite interesting and have had good production values. The plots may be bit over the top but there aren't many animated shows out there that can capture my attention (most of them are quite bland and have been gutted to meet PG13 censor requirements).
Check it out and ignore the NICK viewers (was there maybe a concerted effort to malign the show?). It's worth your while (especially the Amish episode)! This is a show that could very easily grow to rival the Simpsons when they peaked.

I saw this at the TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) and it was definitely a highlight for me.
Do NOT watch this movie when you're looking for something that allows you to "sit back and relax". It's not exactly fast (but, that's not a bad thing in this case!!!) and, if you're used to the action-adventure type movie and are more engaged by action than by other elements of a movie, this may not be your cup of tea.
That said, it is a worthwhile movie to watch. Nanouk Leopold manages to tell a masterful tale and force you to think about death, dying and family relations using her abilities as a director. Little dialogue makes it a film that can easily be enjoyed by Dutch speakers and sub-title readers alike (I suspect, I am bilingual so I can't provide a 100% objective commentary on the experience with subtitles).
This story is really told by the director's unique vision -- if you're able to devote a few brain cells to watching this movie, I would strongly recommend it. It's slow but never seems to drag.
PS the literal translation of wolfsbergen into English is wolf mountains.
