COMMENTS:

• Expensively made twaddle
• Long and tedious.  Not really see the point…
• Absolutely beautiful film
• Interesting that the Russian spy becomes heroic
• Not as amazing as Pans Labarinth but engaging adult fairy tale and quite beautiful imagery throughout– loved the homage to classic film
• Beautifully done – took me through many emotions – a strange story but gorgeous despite the gory bits.
• Really enjoyed it
• Very well done – a real modern fairytale.
• The grey selkie all over again.  Fab!
• Deserving of the Oscar
• A strange but good film
• To my great surprise I loved it
• Marvellous.  A great love story on many levels
• Very enjoyable!  Very imaginative.  Very dramatic
• Splash Noir!  Beautiful visual metaphoe and a classic Chekov’s gun
• Seen and loved all his movies
