Genre
Drama
Facing seizure of their own lands, two families found themselves farming together on the same field, hoping to get through just another rice-farming season like every year. But no matter how much the world is evolving, how much the country is going through economic, political and social changes, they still cannot grasp that ideology of happiness.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
Time Out by Keith Uhlich
This fascinatingly knotty movie never becomes a facile screed against the powers that be. Instead, it plays as a more relaxed and leisurely requiem for a slowly vanishing way of life, with sounds and images-a time-lapse contemplation of the cosmos is in the running for scene of the year-that are as mesmerizing as they are subtly pointed.
Slant Magazine
The Northern Thailand pastoral settings are so refreshing and mesmerizing that they alone can provide the movie's raison d'être.
The New York Times by A.O. Scott
The mood is not one of misery, but of quiet, weary endurance punctuated with moments of joy.
Village Voice
Raksasad manages to keep the film afloat on the real drama of his nation's political and social issues, bringing an added measure of poignancy to the quiet desperation of his characters.
