7/10
A slow film that tells a story in a unique way, succeeding in many area while failing in others, and falling just short of its apparent goal of achieving something meaningful.

The makers of this film took a worthy stab at telling a different kind of story which is apart from the mainstream. I believe it is a story about mankind and mother nature and being in harmony with all that is around us, but it is hard to tell. Unfortunately the filmmakers did not make that clear for us. Many viewers will undoubtedly find beauty in this film about goats and trees. I don't know if I found true beauty in it, but I did enjoy many moments. Others felt slow and tedious. It feels very "artistic." However I do believe this film has a purpose. For those who are interested in seeing what foreign cinema has to offer but are turned off by the idea of having to read burdensome subtitles the whole time, this is a film for you. There is no dialogue and nothing to read. So if you like slow films and don't like reading, perhaps you will find true beauty here. Or if you just want to zone out for an hour and a half or like looking at paintings, because this film is a lot like a painting in many ways.
