Maybe I'm showing my American nature (bigger, faster), but this movie was so ungodly slow that it was almost impossible to sit through. There is a good movie here. It has an interesting premise that speaks of a very sad deeper meaning. In that way, it was a lovely film that showed the interactions that a vampire would have to have with the mortal world around her. However, the LONG stretches in between what I suppose should be called plot points (though I'm grasping at straws here since plot points are supposed to progress the plot) are tedious with no other purpose than setting a somber mood. Yeah, I get it. Somber. I don't need ten minutes of a child walking in snow to get it.
The interactions between the two main characters are interesting though I found the boy to be very off-putting with his sociopathic personality. Unfortunately for the film, this is just about the only plot that is worth caring about.
There are some gem moments in the film making itself. Attention to detail was paid by the film-maker and that is always appreciated. The vampiric subtleties like movement and eyes were done very well. I liked the camera and lighting work. The music was also appropriately cheerless.
My main beef is that this movie is so boring. It could easily have been a ten minute short and felt just as satisfying.
