Quite excellent but not a film for the masses due to it being VERY slow paced. The movie takes it’s time developing the characters & letting the world they live in unfold at it’s own pace. The two actors playing the coupled farmers (Noomi Rapace of The Girl w/the Dragon Tattoo movies is one & the other I’d not seen before) give very nuanced, natural performances.

The movie revolves around a central mystery that the childless farm couple discovers through their daily life of maintaining their sheep & the farm they live on. This is a horror film but it is far from the stereotypical Hollywood horror movies. It does not rely on usual horror conventions at all so don’t go in expecting them. I do not recommend this for horror fans who are into blood/gore since there is little of those here. If you like nice neat answers to the questions raised in this you will be sorely let down since it raises more questions than it answers. I have no problem w/that since I love movies that get me thinking about the premise of the film & the ideas it brings up. If you’re into art films then you may very well enjoy this.
