User review:

Any fan of Mimsy Farmer will want to see this.

Here she is more mysterious otherworldly 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 :]
