I give it TEN STARS* at my scale.
Additional remarks: This is not a thriller or smashing computer-aided million dollar blockbuster. Instead this is a genuine masterpiece of classical cinematography. Very profound characters, the plot is taking place out of time and geography concentrating our attention on the people's relationships and the mother nature's surroundings, like real life flow.
The other title I would give this movie would be "The Destiny". There are moments in our lives when the certain acts that we perform or even conceive may irrevocably change our life. This movie is about this. Who we listen to, who we ignore, who we selfishly love, why meandering from our true self may destroy ourselves and even ruin everything one has built, and how perilous it is sometimes to be our true selfish self.
Many people blame this movie for the slow pace and scenes of nature, but exactly these two things perfectly serve as background for the development of the events and characters like they were real living people. Even the children in the movie do their job very well. My advice is just to relax and flow along the plot, living together with the characters, at least for two hours.
One incomprehensible thing, nonetheless the camera in the movie may seem unsophisticated the certain images remain branded into my mind, clear images, like in one's childhood. This is real magic pertaining to true cinematography.
* --- I have an independent approach to rating movies. I use it myself and it proved to be helpful to my friends. This approach does not reflect any specific quality, nor playing of actors, camera work, director, script or even budget. Instead, it ranges the work as a whole, indicating its consumer value and time-provedness. The rating can be easily applied to other entertainment articles like music CDs, books or performances, thus making the method universal and simple for both using and understanding. It ranges from one to ten stars according to the statements:
1*......... - I started watching but quit before the end. (I left the house).
2**........ - I could hardly sit out till the end.
3***....... - I saw it once. (It's worth watching once).
4****...... - I saw it and would recommend it to my friends. (It's a discovery!).
5*****..... - I would watch it again and could join a company. (Next time I can invite my friends).
6******.... - I can go and watch it many times. (I must find out if they sell it).
7*******... - I saw it and am about to buy a copy. (Happy to have it on my shelf).
8********.. - I saw it and bought it, I enjoy re-watching selected episodes.
9*********. - I saw and bought it - it comes as a source of citations.
10********** - I saw and bought it, the source of all time enjoyment, my favorite. (Next generation will appreciate it like in 10 or 20 years as well).
