User review:

An imperfect film, this Belgian, which hides good intentions but badly made. The screenplay is not accurate enough in depicting a surreal story of classist lycanthropy, and affect the fina results. The actor’s direction is very poor even if the actors do their best. The attention is completely lost in the second half of the movie, when the heart of the story (rather veiled classist critique) emerges overbearingly, which, however, never gets to the point, whining everything down with superficiality and haste. A difficult film to recommend, honestly, in which you can find reasons of interest, which however are only justifications in defense of an intuition which, unfortunately, never fully expresses itself, even getting a little boring and making people smile, more than disturbing and making us think. By now, I still don’t understand the original “Kommunion” title meaning…
