Gorgeous

Oh, the marvel! This film is gorgeous. It's cinematography is rough, edged and jagged all around, but it makes it look fantastic. The handheld camerawork creates an athmosphere of beautiful dread that pulls the viewer completely into the film and immerses him or her with it entirely. The long single shots also do this. To me, it hardly matters if these long shots were made with the aide of CGI or not. If they were, I'm happy the technique actually helps with something other than horrible monster creatures in the latest Starshit Trotters-sequel or something. The story also has an interesting amount of depth in it's ranks, as thematically it deals moreso with the concept of hope and it's various forms of appearance (the pregnant lady being the most obvious one) rather than infertility. It also has a few things to say about racism and social issues that plague our world, and it does all this while being a balls-to-the-wall action flick with non-stop chase sequences and heartbreaking tragic events of a grand scale. If there's ever a film to deserve a ten, this is most certainly it.
