Austere direction, stark imagery and magnificent performances combine in a memorable portrait of a vulnerable and humane young man, blossoming in the toxic soil of a devastated country. This beautiful and moving feature, set in modern-day Kazakhstan, depicts the hard choices a young man makes when he's caught between poverty, crime and love, guided only by his wits and his better nature.

"A stark and stylistic hybrid of the Dardennes' formal austerity and Terrence Malick's lyricism." - Nick Schager

Some interesting visuals with a couple nice, atmospheric shots of Kazakhstan. A slow plot where very little happens, but it shows the conditions of rural Kazakhstan. Surprising to me since I'm not aware of them but to anybody who is, then it probably isn't. Acting is solid but not amazing. Fight scenes are pretty gory and realistic. It's pretty clean too, meaning, it doesn't beat you over the head with anything. Kind of like Elephant, it just examines the situation.
