"Border" brings to horror-fantasy the same Swedish sensibility that "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" brought to crime thrillers. Welcome to the land of eternal night.
Don't read another word about it: just go.
It... gnaws at the brain for its subliminal messages about how we treat the people in our midst who don't fit whatever definition of "normal" we're carrying around with us.
Director and co-writer Ali Abbasi's film is a murky, unsettling watch - but however unsettling, it remains gripping and affecting, its viscerality covering for its occasional elisions.
Even the most open-minded viewers may have difficulty relating to the two lead protagonists in Border, a cynical Swedish romantic-fantasy.
"Border" may not be everyone's idea of a fun night out, but it takes you to places you won't forget, and that's nothing to sniff at.
Border is bizarre and disturbing, and I enjoyed it almost as much as Vore enjoys everything. Be forewarned, though. This fairy tale is not Cinderella.
Border can be tender and liberating, furious and disgusting, and even polemic in its vision of decaying humankind. In this case, and for its arresting visuals and compelling narrative, it's easy to conclude that this is no minor work.
Border is a whimsical and dark fairy tale for adults that tackles uncomfortable material in a fascinating way.
With minimal but perfectly placed special effects, this superb film oozes despair but it also shares hope.
Abbasi delivers formidable jolts because his deliberate pacing and low-key approach make the revelations all the more stunning.
Some people will think this is the worst movie of the year. Others will love it. Both groups won't be able to stop talking about it.
