...executed; its acting and imagery are exaggerated, but work to the film’s benefit. Helmer offers us a total production, a full fairy tale where every last detail is carefully thought out—from the evocative music to the otherworldly set. The actors took years to cast and come from all around the world—an advantage to creating a film with close to no dialogue. The dynamic between Aya and Temelko is genuine and convincing. Their sincerity and playfulness carry the movie.The interweaving of the two storylines—that of the pipeline and that...
