Negative Positive
Title: Assign to pretentious drivel.
Review: Yawn, yawn, yawn. Yet another film a-plenty with pretendy-Highlanders portrayed as drunken, sex-starved, violent, religious maniacs who need to be taught by liberal trendies and outsiders what humanity is. The author's artschool-level interpretation of biblical themes is risible.Myself, coming from the islands, a place where neighbours take an interest and care for each other's well-being, where both Presbyterian ministers and Catholic priests do the rounds of the house-bound and dying, this film is an enormous insult to the values that they hold. Can anybody believe that a minister would step over the body of a dying mentally-handicapped young woman to get into his church? If you hold this kind of prejudice, then you'll enjoy this film.What bitter memories or prejudices provoked the author hold to write such a text? Unless you are interested in minority- or Christian-bashing, avoid this at all costs.
