    A friend of mine recommended this gem to me, and I very much enjoyed it. Initially I had a tough time with understanding their speak (plus, no subtitles included as option), but eventually I was able to understand the accent. But, all in all, the acting, the scenery, and especially the story kept me involved. I think the thing that got me about the movie was that it showed that the [power of the] heart can overpower any surface thing if we're open to it. Great unexpected film.

    I'd have given this a solid 4 stars if only it had subtitles. Maybe even higher. As it stands it took me about 20 minutes to even begin to acclimate myself to the accents and even then I missed a good portion of what was being said due to the lousy low volume sound of the dialogue. Filmakers: not all of us have perfect hearing! What I saw I liked a lot. What little I could understand I liked a lot. Real shame about the lack of subtitles though...
