I'll say right off the bat that I can't imagine why this rates only 7.3 stars. Perhaps it's too highbrow for most audiences. Frankly, if you don't have either the curiosity or the brains to try to understand all the profound anthropological underpinnings, or you know zero about shamanism or primitive magic or Lapps (I believe they now style themselves Saami), this isn't for you. Too bad, because it's extremely exciting, absorbingly plotted, and beautifully filmed.
