This is cute and relaxing. Excellent cinematography, safe direction, nice score and good acting. It has, however, no right to be among the 5 nominees for International Picture in a year with so many great contenders not nominated.
The film plays exactly as you would expect without any trace of ambition or challenging elements, being very comfortable in just a small little story. I also have issues with the structure and the screenplay, as I think we should have seen more about his time on the village. The introduction, the 1st act, was way too long and unnecessary.
