User review:

Any fan of Mimsy Farmer will want to see this

Here she is more mysterious otherwordly alien-like and bewitching than in other films … maybe or just as much

There are interesting Goddess worship elements in this film

The pace tho is mandraxed art-house Movie; the sort which turns folks off the genre for ever

“Get on with it” you feel like saying

But it is essentially a philosophical reflection not an Action flick

So in the end you slow down and watch until the end

Took me 3 sittings tho :]
