Here are their comments:
- Thanks for screening this film yesterday. It had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn’t believe the way in which Theeb grew up before our eyes in what (I can only imagine) was a short space in time.
-
Wonderful scenery (not that I would want to live there, mind). Excellent acting from the young lead actor. One of those films where you can never guess what is going to happen next – v. enjoyable twists and turns. For once a Film Club that I didn’t feel that was too long.
-
A remarkable achievement.
-
Enthralling if somewhat grim. Fantastic desert scenery.
-
Filming of the highest order – Brilliant.
-
Beautiful, thought provoking, poetic film. My kind of film. Loved it.
-
Beautifully shot. The clash between the old and new world.
-
Excellent plot. Good cast especially the boy Theeb. ‘Revenge is a dish best served cold’!
-
Very interesting film. Arresting!
-
Beautiful and savage – beautifully slow paced.
-
For most of its length it was very gripping and interesting. It slowed down towards the end, but overall it was excellent.
-
Beautifully shot, excellent child actor – a moody slow-burner.
-
Great cinematography – wonderful use of scenery + sense of place.
-
Visually & aurally stunning. So much from the point of view of the child who spoke little.
-
Haunting music, lovely scenery, thought provoking.
