Top CriticAt the final credits, you don't really know much more about these folks than you did at the opening credits. But you've done a good deed for your eyes.
06/23/06
Top CriticSome films offer up their mysteries openly; others, like this quietly affecting Sri Lankan film, keep their secrets close, revealing them gradually shot by shot, scene by scene.
06/22/06
Top CriticThe 27-year-old filmmaker's command of film language is evident and his evocation of postwar trauma is haunting.
06/20/06
Top CriticDemoralized characters stuck in a war-torn no-man's land drift from weariness to despair, trying audience patience somewhere along the way.
02/18/06
Top CriticThe narrative is so scant that watching the film's weather is the chief pleasure.
