To underline the characters' suppressive mindset the movie score lays over us like a thick, monotone and heartlessly dooming cloud. A glimpse of storytelling greatness is at display when the gypsy lady sings and the leading lady gets herself lost in the moment. Another up to par part is the misty color correction.

We're in a farming community and reminded about how back in the day joy was driven from our souls through shaming and existence was like a punishment. We take special interest in a young woman during her forbidden romance. The film making has its merits, but the heroine's main goal is just something she's thinking about getting involved with. Hence we aren't involved. The drama doesn't pull us in.
