A trailblazer for its culture and certainly makes for a fascinating, if rather long, watch.

Top Critic...takes you to a place you've never been and tells a story as profound and ambitious as a Shakespeare play.

...barely has enough material to fill a 52-minute CBC special, let alone a three-hour cinematic "event."

Top CriticA film so crisp with detail that, like other great films, it whisks us away to a locale like nothing else we’ve ever seen to tell a story that’s not quite like anything else we’ve ever heard.

An amazing achievement but it has a few problems.

Damn hard to see where this is going to get its audience.

At three hours and with very little story or character development, there is plenty of room for editing, and a much shorter cut surely would have resulted in a smoother, more focused narrative without sacrificing any of the cultural intrigue.

Top CriticDon't be put off by the 172-minute running time. It's worth it.

...squeezes in enough passion, jealousy, family feuding and murder to fuel a daytime drama for several weeks.
10/10/02
The pace of the film is often glacial.
