Ratings and reviews

This movie is an adaptation from a wonderful play. It carefully masters the craft of layering plots. This story will carry you away in a quest to unveil truths, grief, love and forgiveness. It's beautiful!

What a film! Such a strong plot and characters as they are thrust into life altering events in a fictional middle east. Devastating how the circle is ultimately completed. This movie hits you in the gut.

Good movie. Not one of Villeneuve's best but it's still masterfully crafted.
